[Verse 1]
                 C           E
Strange how the scale forms
         C           A7M
In tiny patterns
         C
On my antenna
        D                  E
And The Five O'Clock Show, hello 
hello
             C        E           
Brooklyn is crawling     with 
   C       A7M
famous people
           C         D            
I turn my vehicle beneath the 
   A
river, west from south

[Chorus]
            F#m
Through the airwaves
F            G        C
People never read the airwaves
F           G       A
Do we only feed the airwaves
   F                  G           
I really should have seen through 
    C#m C#sus2 C#m C#m7 D    E
the air -------------- waves

[Verse 2]
          C     E            
Electric fences   line our new 
   C      A7M
freeway
             C              D     
Here in the half-light, the motor 
             E
homes leave, hey-oh, hey-oh
             C      E           C
Knee-deep in water     under a 
       A7M
pylon
           Cadd9  C
How slow my heartbeat
    D6       D        A
How thin the air I'm breathing in

[Chorus]
            F#m
Through the airwaves

People never read the airwaves
F           G       A
Do we only feed the airwaves
   F                  G            
Or stamp them out at street level?

Airwaves
     F               G      
The dampness of the wind, the 
  C
airwaves
     F              G      
The tension of the skin, the 
   A
airwaves
F    G
oooooooh

[Bridge]
    A               B
Control has enabled   the abandoned 
wires again
    A                    B
But   the copper cables     all rust
 in the acid rain
A                           B
  That flood the subway with   
elements of our corrosion
G                     G
Cabled in to me, yeah cable them to 
me
F                E
Cable them    to me

[Verse 3]
          C        E               
Be in my broadcast    when this is 
C      A7M
over
              C
Give me your shoulder
   D              E
I need a place to wait for morning
          C       E         
No it was nothing,   some car 
      C       A7M
backfiring
                  C
Please don't ask questions
  D               A
I itch all over, let me sleep


[Chorus]
