RADIO RADIO
Beatsteaks original from:Elvis Costello
Intro: 4x
F# C#m H B C#m
F# C#
I was tuning in the shine on the light night dial
H F#
Doing anything my radio advised.
C#
With every one of those late night stations
H D# * (Guitar comes in)
Playing songs, bringing tears to my eyes.
H C#
I was seriously thinking about hiding the receiver
D# C#
When the switch broke 'cause it's old.
H C#
They're saying things that I can hardly believe.
C# F#
They really think we're getting out of control.
F# D#
Radio is the sound salvation.
C#
Radio is cleaning up the nation.
H F# C# D#m
They say you better listen to the voice of reason.
H F# C# Dm#
But they don't give you any choice 'cause they think that it's treason.
C# D#m
So you had better do as you are told.
C# F#
You better listen to the radio.
Intro: 2x
Hm F#
I want to bite the hand that feeds me.
Hm F#
I want to bite that hand so badly.
D#m C#m7
I want to make them wish they'd never seen me.
F# C#
Some of my friends sit around every evening
H F#
And they worry about the times ahead.
C#
But everybody else is overwhelmed by indifference
H D#
And the promise of an early bed.
H
You better shut up or get cut up;
C#
They don't wanna hear about it.
D# C#
It's only inches on the reel-to-reel.
H C#
And the radio is in the hands of such a lot of fools
F#
Trying to anaesthetise the way that you feel.
(chorus)
F# C#m H B C#m
F# C#m H B C#m

F# C#m H B C#m

F# C#m H B C#m
Wonderful radio
F# C#m H B C#m
Radio, radio.
F# C#m H B C#m
Radio, radio.
