Verse 1:
B minorBm
Always been the radio's child
Quick-to-smile precious baby
E minorEm
Search the dial and electrify
B minorBm
Drive a tight little corner back in the mirror
Radio boys trying on all their moves
E MajorE
Spare some change and testify
A augmentedA
Radio playing in your sleep
E MajorE
Prophet waiting in your car
B minorBm
Worlds whispered in the mind of a radio child
A augmentedA
Rhymes cheating keeping time,
E MajorE
Eyes stretching across the stars
B minorBm
Over and over in the life of a radio child
Radio Child
E minorEm

Groove over an E minorEm until Todd calls for the change to C.
After Todd's drums break, jam over a C majorC chord for 8 measures,
then move back to the Main Riff.
Verse 2:
B minorBm
The radios laugh like all their friends
Telling jokes the old folks know so well
E minorEm
Like an old guitar plays a lullaby
A augmentedA
Radio cradling your dreams
E MajorE
Prophet waiting in your car
B minorBm
Worlds whispered in the mind of a radio child
A augmentedA
Rhymes cheating keeping time,
E MajorE
Eyes stretching across the stars
B minorBm
Over and over in the life of a radio child
B minorBm
Yeah radio child
Precious baby, precious baby
Jam over the B minorBm for a bit, then end with this:
