Verse 1: 
F#m 
I've been drivin' all night, my hands are wet on the wheel. 
There's a voice in my head that drives my heel. 
My baby call said I need you here. 
It's half past four and I'm shifting gears. 
 
Chorus: 
E                           B               F#m 
  When I get lonely and the longing gets too much, 
E                          B 
  She sends comfort coming in from above. 
C#                     E 
Don't need no radio at all. 
D        A            E            F#m 
We got a thing that's called radar love 
D          A           E 
  We got a wave in the air 
      F#m 
Radar love 
 
Verse 2: 
The radio's playin' some forgotten song. 
Brenda Lee's coming on strong. 
The road has got me hypnotized, 
As I spin into a new sunrise.

Gotta keep cool, now, gotta take care.

The news man sang his same song, 
One more radar lover gone.
