Verse 1:
B5
Always been the radio's child

Quick-to-smile precious baby
A5                              E5
     Search the dial and electrify
B5
Drive a tight little corner back in the mirror

Radio boys trying on all their moves
C5                               E5
     Spare some change and testify


A5
Radio playing in your sleep
                        E5
Prophet waiting in your car
F#5    E5                D5         C#5   B5
Worlds whispered in the mind of a radio child
A5
Rhymes cheating keeping time,
                           E5
Eyes stretching across the stars
F#5      E5           D5         C#5   B5
Over and over in the life of a radio child
Radio Child

Groove over an Em until Todd calls for the change to C.

After Todd's drums break, jam over a C chord for 8 measures,
then move back to the Main Riff.

Verse 2:
B5
The radios laugh like all their friends

Telling jokes the old folks know so well
A5                                   E5
     Like an old guitar plays a lullaby


A5
Radio cradling your dreams
                        E5
Prophet waiting in your car
F#5    E5                D5         C#5   B5
Worlds whispered in the mind of a radio child
A5
Rhymes cheating keeping time,
                           E5
Eyes stretching across the stars
F#5      E5           D5         C#5   B5
Over and over in the life of a radio child
           B5
Yeah radio child
Precious baby, precious baby

Jam over the Bm for a bit, then end with this:
