[E] [B]
[E] was tuning in the shine of [Bm] the light and I dialed through [A] and entered my radio [E] fast
With every one of [B] those late night stations [A] playing songs bringing tears to [C#] my eyes
I [A] was seriously thinking [B] about hiding the receiver [C#m] when the switch broke cause [D#m] it's old
[E] They're saying things that I [F#] can hardly believe, they [B] really think we're getting out of [E] control
Radio [C#m] is how salvation, radio [B] is the way to love the nation
[A] They say you better [B] listen to the voice of reason
[E] [A] But they don't give [E] you any [B] choice cause they think [C#m] that it's [G#]
treason
[B] So you had [C#] better do as you were told, you [B] better [E] listen to the radio
I [B]
[E] [B]
[Am] wanna bite [E] the hand that feeds [A] me, I wanna bite [E] that hand so badly
[C#m] I wanna make them wish they'd [B] never seen me
[E] Some of my friends [B] sit around every evening [A] and they worry about the [E] times ahead
But everybody else [B] is overwhelmed by [A] indifference and the promise of an [C#] early bed
[A] They either shut up or get cut [B] out, they don't wanna hear [C#] about it so they're in just [B] on the reel to reel
[E] And the radio is in the [B] hands of such a lot of fools trying to do a needless act the way that [E] you feel
Radio [C#m] is how salvation, radio [B] is the way to love the nation
[A] They say you better [B] listen to the voice of reason
[E]
[A] But they don't give you [E] any choice cause they [C#m] think that it's treason
[B] So you had [F#] better do as [C#m] you were told, you better [E] listen to the radio
[B] What if I ran [G#m] out, [B] and I'm [E] the last to pay up
