verse 1 :
Bm
always been the radio’s child
quick – to – smile precious baby
Am Em
search the dial and electrify
Bm
drive a tight little corner back in the mirror
radio boys trying on all their moves
C E
spare some change and testify

A
radio playing in your sleep
E
prophet waiting in your car
F#m E D C#m Bm
worlds whispered in the mind of a radio child
A
rhymes cheating keeping time ,
E
eyes stretching across the stars
F#m E D C#m Bm
over and over in the life of a radio child
radio child

groove over an Em until todd calls for the change to C .

after todd’s drums break , jam over A C chord for 8 measures ,
then move back to the main riff .

verse 2 :
Bm
the radios laugh like all their friends
telling jokes the old folks know so well
Am Em
like an old guitar plays a lullaby

A
radio cradling your dreams
E
prophet waiting in your car
F#m E D C#m Bm
worlds whispered in the mind of a radio child
A
rhymes cheating keeping time ,
E
eyes stretching across the stars
F#m E D C#m Bm
over and over in the life of a radio child
Bm
yeah radio child
precious baby , precious baby

jam over the Bm for a bit , then end with this :
