Verse 1:
Dm Am Bb Three A.M. I'm awakened Gm Dm By a sweet summer rain Bb Gm Distant howling of a passing Southbound coal train Dm Was I dreaming Bb Gm Or was there someone just lying here Beside me in this bed? Dm Am I hearing things? Bb Or in the next room Gm Bb Did a long forgotten music box just start playing?Pre-Chorus
Gm C F And I know it's a sin putting words in the mouths of the dead Gm C F And I know it's a crime to weave your wishes into what they said Gm C F And I know only fools venture where them spirits tread G C F Cause I know every word, every sound bouncing 'round my headGm Is just static on the radio Bb static on the radio Gm Is just static on the radio Bb static on the radio Gm Is just static on the radio Bb F Everything I think I know is just static on the radio Gm Is just static on the radio Bb F Everything I think I know is just static on the radioBridge:

Bb D# Dm Midnight rendevous Bb With a pretty girl Gm Bb Wearing a torn and tear-stained gown Gm Bb Like a ghost ship she appeared from nowhere Gm F On a lonely highway and flagged me down Dm Bb I gave her a lift downtown to the Greyhound station Gm Bb Under the flicker of the neon light Dm She kissed me goodbye Bb Gm Bb And in the mirror of her eyes I saw my own reflectionPre-Chorus
A Gm C F And I know the blind will sometimes lead the blind Gm C F And I know through shadowlands and troubled times G C F And I know forsaking love, we see it's a sign Gm C F And I know of truths forever hid behindGm Is just static on the radio Bb static on the radio Gm Is just static on the radio Bb static on the radio Gm Is just static on the radio Bb F Everything I think I know is just static on the radio Gm Is just static on the radio Bb F Everything I think I know is just static on the radioVerse 3:
Dm Now there's a church house Bb About a stone's throw down Gm Bb From this place where I been staying Dm It's Sunday morning Bb And I'm sittin' in my truck Gm Bb Listening to my neighbor sing Dm Bb Ten years ago I might have joined in Gm Bb But don't time change those inclined Dm A Bb To think less of what is written Gm Bb Than what's wrote between the lines?Pre-Chorus
Gm C F Cause I know dreams are for those who are asleep in bed Gm C F And I know it's a sin putting words in the mouths of the dead Gm C F Cause I know for all my ruminations I can't change a thing Gm C F Still I hope there's others out there who are listeningOutro Gm Bb F D# Gm D# Gm Bb D# Gm Bb Gm D#Gm To the static on the radio Bb F D# Static on the radio Gm Static on the radio Bb F D# Everything I think I know is just static on the radio Gm Static on the radio Bb F D# Ain't praying for miracles, I'm just down on my knees Gm Static on the radio Bb F D# Listening for the song behind everything I think I know Gm Static on the radio Bb F D# Everything I think I know is just static on the radio Gm Bb F D# Everything I think I know is just static on the radio
