Tuning: Down one step (yes, a whole step!)

Again, this is based on the acoustic version here:

This took me forever but I'm 99% positive about it!
(I called each section of the picking a "riff")


  (G)                             (G/B)           (Cadd9)

I  wonder if you're out there...   to this song tonight (v1)
   Every single word bouncing      off the    satellite (v1)
We never were good at saying       saying what we  meant (v2)
   To each other's faces we just   shut down...    quit (v2)
   When I close my eyes...         still feel your kiss (v3)
   I can taste forever             right here...   lips (v3)
I  pull the car over and I         open up the     roof (v4)
   I lay back my seat and I        start to...     you (v4)

   If you are I hope...            feel these...  cry (v1)
   Poets have a funny way of       only making    sense (v2)
I  try to steal another but the    closest that I get (v3)
...Only way I get to feel your     body next to   mine (ch1)
If I could get to you I hope you   know that...   crawl (ch2)

   All the lines and wires...      tangled every  time (ch1)
Is this some kind of joke...       God's twisted design (ch1)
...Looking at the stars...         makes me...    small (ch2)
   If the sky was burning...       one I'd want...call (ch2)

Here's the setup, it's easy to remember once memorize the picking and lyrics:

V1 - Riff 1 x2, Riff 2

Riff 1

V2 - Riff 1 x2, Riff 2

Riff 1

Ch1 - Riff 3 x2, Riff 2

Riff 1 x2

V3 - Riff 1 x2, Riff 2

Riff 1

Ch1 - Riff 3 x2, Riff 2

Riff 1 x2

V4 - Riff 1 x2

Ch2 - Riff 3 x2, Riff 2

Riff 1 x2, Riff 2

(and I just usually end with a strum on G)

Lyrics:

V1
I wonder if you're out there listening to this song tonight
Every single word bouncing off the satellite
And if you are I hope that you can feel these tears I cry
Through the radio

V2
We never were good at saying, saying what we meant
To each others faces we just shut down and we quit 
I guess poets have a funny way of only making sense
Through the radio

Ch1
All the lines and wires, they get tangled every time
Is this some kind of joke or is this God's twisted design?
The only way I get to feel your body next to mine
Is through the radio, through the radio

V3
When I close my eyes I can still feel your kiss
I can taste forever right here on my lips
I try to steal another but the closest that I get
Is through radio

Ch1
All the lines and wires, they get tangled every time
Is this some kind of joke or is this God's twisted design?
The only way I get to feel your body next to mine
Is through the radio, oh through the radio

V4
Well I pull the car over and I open up the roof
I lay back in my seat and I start to think of you

Ch2
When I'm looking at the stars, you know it makes me feel so small
And if the sky was burning you're the one I'd want to call
If I could get to you I hope you know that I would crawl
Through the radio, oh through the radio
Oh, oh through the radio
