Verse 1:

DmDm  A minorAm         Bb majorBb
Three A.M. I'm awakened
 G minorGm       DmDm
By a sweet summer rain
          Bb majorBb    G minorGm
Distant howling of a passing Southbound coal train
DmDm
Was I dreaming
      Bb majorBb         G minorGm
Or was there someone just lying here Beside me in this bed?
DmDm
A minorAm I hearing things?
    Bb majorBb
Or in the next room
   G minorGm            Bb majorBb
Did a long forgotten music box just start playing?

Pre-Chorus:
   G minorGm     C majorC            FF
And I know it's a sin putting words in the mouths of the dead
   G minorGm    C majorC              FF
And I know it's a crime to weave your wishes into what they said
   G minorGm    C majorC             FF
And I know only fools venture where them spirits tread
    G+G     C majorC             FF
Cause I know every word, every sound bouncing 'round my head

Verse 2:
Bb majorBb D#D#  DmDm
Midnight rendevous
       Bb majorBb
With a pretty girl
    G minorGm           Bb majorBb
Wearing a torn and tear-stained gown
   G minorGm               Bb majorBb
Like a ghost ship she appeared from nowhere
      G minorGm           FF
On a lonely highway and flagged me down
      DmDm            Bb majorBb
I gave her a lift downtown to the Greyhound station
     G minorGm          Bb majorBb
Under the flicker of the neon light
  DmDm
She kissed me goodbye
     Bb majorBb          G minorGm       Bb majorBb
And in the mirror of her eyes I saw my own reflection

Pre-chorus:
A augmentedA   G minorGm   C majorC          FF
And I know the blind will sometimes lead the blind
   G minorGm     C majorC        FF
And I know through shadowlands and troubled times
   G+G    C majorC         FF
And I know forsaking love, we see it's a sign
    G minorGm  C majorC           FF
And I know of truths forever hid behind

Chorus:
     G minorGm
Is just static on the radio
  Bb majorBb
static on the radio
     G minorGm
Is just static on the radio
  Bb majorBb
static on the radio
     G minorGm
Is just static on the radio
      Bb majorBb          FF
Everything I think I know is just static on the radio
      G minorGm
Is just static on the radio
      Bb majorBb          FF
Everything I think I know is just static on the radio


Verse 3:
DmDm
Now there's a church house
    Bb majorBb
About a stone's throw down
     G minorGm           Bb majorBb
From this place where I been staying
        DmDm
It's Sunday morning
      Bb majorBb
And I'm sittin' in my truck
G minorGm            Bb majorBb
Listening to my neighbor sing
  DmDm            Bb majorBb
Ten years ago I might have joined in
      G minorGm          Bb majorBb
But don't time change those inclined
    DmDm     A augmentedA    Bb majorBb
To think less of what is written
       G minorGm         Bb majorBb
Than what's wrote between the lines?


Pre-Chorus:
     G minorGm C majorC                FF
Cause I know dreams are for those who are asleep in bed
     G minorGm   C majorC            FF
And I know it's a sin putting words in the mouths of the dead
     G minorGm        C majorC            FF
Cause I know for all my ruminations I can't change a thing
     G minorGm     C majorC              FF
Still I hope there's others out there who are listening
