[Verse]
C G
I turned the radio on
F C C/B
25 years ago
Am C G
And they were playing your song
C G
I looked for you on the town
F C C/B
Thought I was tracking you down
Am C G
But you were there all along
[Pre-Chorus]
F
You used to glow as bright as a candle
C C/B Am
But now burning the house down
F
You used to be all the world
C G
Could handle but n--ow
[Chorus]
F
Radio girl
Em
Radio girl
[Bridge]
F C
When the radio waves have all drowned out
F Am
And you're drifting too far from the shore
F C Em
When there's nobody else to cling to anymore
G
I turn the radio on
[Chorus]
F
[Whistle]
Em
[Whistle]
F
[Whistle]

[Solo]

[Verse]
C G
I turned the radio on
F C C/B
On a long highway
Am C G
And they were playing your song
C G
Out and under the stars
F C C/B
And the signal is clear
Am C G
You were nowhere else but the radio, travelling on
[Pre-Chorus]
F
You used to glow as bright as a candle
C C/B Am
But now burning the house down
F
You used to be all the world
C G
Could handle but n--ow
[Chorus]
F
Radio girl
Em
Radio girl
[Bridge]
F C
They played it over and over again
F Am
Like they did on the Red, Hot and Blue
F C Em
When there's nobody else to sing to, just me and you
G
I turn the radio on
[Interlude]
