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

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

C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
Coda:
C majorC G+G
I turned the radio on
FF C majorC
25 years ago
