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 head
Gm
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 radio

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 reflection
Pre-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 behind
Gm
Is just static on the radio

Verse 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 listening
Gm
To the static on the radio

Gm

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
