Dm Bb Gm Bb A [x2]
[Verse]
Dm3 A.M. I’m awakeBbned
By a sweet Gmsummer rain Bb A
Distant howDmling of a passBbing
Gm Southbound BbcoaAl train
Was I dreamDming or was there Bbsomeone just lying hereGm
Beside me in thisBb beAd?
Am I heaDmring things? Or in the Bbnext room
Did a Gmlong forgotten music box jBbust start pAlaying?
And I Gmknow [it’s a Csin putting words in the mouF*ths of the dead]
And I Gmknow [it’s a crCime to weave your wishes inF*to what they said]
And I kGmnow [only foCols venture where them spF*irits tread]
Cause I Gmknow [every woCrd, every sound bouncing arouF*nd my head]
[Chorus]
Is just static on the rGmadio
[Static on the Bbradio] F Eb
Static on the rGmadio
[Static on the Bbradio] F Eb
Static on the rGmadio
[Everything I tBbhink I know is just Fstatic on the rEbadio]
Static on the rGmadio
[Everything I tBbhink I know is just Fstatic on the rEbadio]
[Verse]
Midnight renDmdezvous with a Bbpretty girl
Wearin' a tGmorn and tear-stained gBbown A
Like a ghostDm ship, she appeared from nBbowhere
On a lonely Gmhighway and flagged me downBb A
I gave her a liDmft downtown to the GreyBbhound station
And in the flickGmer of the neon lightsBb A
She kissed Dmme goodbye and in the mBbirror of her eyes
I Gmsaw my own reflBbectioAn
And I kGmnow [The Cblind will sometimes leF*ad the blind]
And I kGmnow [Through sChadow lands and troubF*led times]
And I kGmnow [ForCsaking love, we seeF*k the signs]
Ans I kGmnow [Of tCruths forever F*hid behind]
[Chorus]
Is just static on the rGmadio
[Static on the Bbradio] F Eb
Static on the rGmadio
[Static on the Bbradio] F Eb
Static on the rGmadio
[Everything I tBbhink I know is just Fstatic on the rEbadio]
Static on the rGmadio
[Everything I tBbhink I know is just Fstatic on the rEbadio]
[Solo]
[Verse]
[A bit quieter in the next four lines, you could try palm muting or other techniques to your taste.]
Now there's a churDmch house about a sBbtone's throw down
From this Gmplace where I been stayinBbg A
It's Sunday Dmmorning and I'm sitBbtin' in my truck
GmListening to my neighbor sinBbg A
Ten yeDmars ago I might have jBboined in
But don’t Gmtime change those incBblinedA
To think lDmess of what is wriBbtten
Than what’s Gmwrote between the lineBbs? A
Gm C F *
Cause I know [dreams are for those who are asleep in bed]
Gm C F *
And I know [it's a sin putting words in the mouths of the dead]
Gm C F *
Cause I know [for all my ruminations I can't change a thing
Gm C F *
Still I hope [there's others out there that are listening]
[Chorus]
To the static on the rGmadio
[Static on the rBbadio] F Eb
Static on the rGmadio
[everything I tBbhink I know is just sFtatic on the raEbdio]
Static on the rGmadio
[Ain't praying for miBbracles, I'm just dFown on my kEbnees]
Is just static on the rGmadio
[Listening for the sBbong behind eveFrything I think I Ebknow]
[Static on the radio]
GmEverything I think I kBbnow is just stFatic on the raEbdio
Gm Bb F Eb [repeat till end]
