Jim White - Static on the radio

^DmThree^Am A.M. I'm awakened ^Bb By^Gm a sweet summer^Dm rain Distant howling of ^Bba passing^Gm Southbound coal train ^DmWas I dreaming Or was there^Bb someone just lying^Gm here Beside me in this bed? ^DmAm I hearing things? Or in th^Bbe next room Did a^Gm long forgotten music box^Bb just start playing?

And I ^Gmknow it's a^C sin putting words in the^F mouths of the dead And I ^Gmknow it's ^Ca crime to weave your wishes^F into what they said And I ^Gmknow only^C fools venture where them ^Fspirits tread Cause I ^Gknow every^C word, every sound bouncing^F 'round my head

Is just st^Gmatic on the radio sta^Bbtic on the radio Is just st^Gmatic on the radio sta^Bbtic on the radio Is just st^Gmatic on the radio Everything I^Bb think I know is just^F static on the radio Is just sta^Gmtic on the radio Everything I^Bb think I know is just^F static on the radio

^BbMid^Ebnight^Dm rendevous With a pretty^Bb girl Wearing ^Gma torn and tear-stained^Bb gown Like ^Gma ghost ship she appeared from ^Bbnowhere On a lonely^Gm highway and flagged me^F down I gave her a^Dm lift downtown to the Gre^Bbyhound station Under the^Gm flicker of the neon ^Bblight She^Dm kissed me goodbye And in the^Bb mirror of her eyes I^Gm saw my own refl^Bbection

^AAnd I k^Gmnow the^C blind will sometimes^F lead the blind And I ^Gmknow through^C shadowlands and^F troubled times And I ^Gknow fors^Caking love, we see^F it's a sign And I k^Gmnow of^C truths forever hid be^Fhind

Is just st^Gmatic on the radio sta^Bbtic on the radio Is just st^Gmatic on the radio sta^Bbtic on the radio Is just st^Gmatic on the radio Everything I^Bb think I know is just^F static on the radio Is just sta^Gmtic on the radio Everything I^Bb think I know is just^F static on the radio

^DmNow there's a church house About a^Bb stone's throw down From this^Gm place where I been stay^Bbing It's Sunday mor^Dmning And I'm sit^Bbtin' in my truck ^GmListening to my neighbor s^Bbing Ten^Dm years ago I might have j^Bboined in But don't t^Gmime change those incl^Bbined To think^Dm less of wh^Aat is wri^Bbtten Than what's w^Gmrote between the li^Bbnes?

Cause I k^Gmnow^C dreams are for those who are as^Fleep in bed And I kno^Gmw it's a^C sin putting words in the^F mouths of the dead Cause I k^Gmnow for all my ru^Cminations I can't change ^Fa thing Still I h^Gmope there's^C others out there who are lis^Ftening
