[Verse]

C                  G
I turned the radio on
F         C   C/B
25 years ago
Am              C           G
And they were playing your song

C                        G
I looked for you on the town
F                           C   C/B
Thought I was tracking you down
Am             C         G
But you were there all along


[Pre-Chorus]

F
You used to glow as bright as a candle
C       C/B          Am
But now burning the house down
F
You used to be all the world
                 C  G
Could handle but n--ow


[Chorus]

F
Radio girl
Em
Radio girl


[Bridge]

F                               C
When the radio waves have all drowned out
F                                      Am
And you're drifting too far from the shore
F                             C          Em
When there's nobody else to cling to anymore
                 G
I turn the radio on


[Chorus]

[Verse]

C                  G
I turned the radio on
F              C   C/B
On a long highway
Am              C           G
And they were playing your song

C                   G
Out and under the stars
F                   C   C/B
And the signal is clear
         Am                    C                G
You were nowhere else but the radio, travelling on


[Pre-Chorus]

F
You used to glow as bright as a candle
C       C/B          Am
But now burning the house down
F
You used to be all the world
                 C  G
Could handle but n--ow


[Chorus]

F
Radio girl
Em
Radio girl


[Bridge]

F                              C
They played it over and over again
           F                        Am
Like they did on the Red, Hot and Blue
              F              C                    Em 
When there's nobody else to sing to, just me and you
                 G
I turn the radio on
