On the Radio — Regina Spektor
Chords and lyrics for On the Radio by Regina Spektor (key of F).
Intro
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
Verse 1
[C]This is how it works
It [G]feels a little worse
Than [Am]when we drove our hearse
Right [F]through that screaming crowd
While [C]laughing up a storm
[G]Until we were just bone
[Am]Until it got so warm
That [F]none of us could sleep
And [C]all the styrofoam
[G]Began to melt away
We [Am]tried to find some worms
To [F]aid in the decay
But [C]none of them were home
[G]Inside their catacomb
A [Am]million ancient bees
[F]Began to sting our knees
While [C]we were on our knees
[G]Praying that disease
Would [Am]leave the ones we love
And [F]never come again
Hook
[C]On the radio
We [G]heard November Rain
That [Am]solo's real long
But [F]it's a pretty song
We [C]listened to it twice
'Cause the [G]DJ was asleep
[Am] [F]
Verse 2
[C]This is how it works
You're [G]young until you're not
You [Am]love until you don't
You [F]try until you can't
You [C]laugh until you cry
You [G]cry until you laugh
And [Am]everyone must breathe
[F]Until their dying breath
No, [C]this is how it works
You [G]peer inside yourself
You [Am]take the things you like
And try to [F]love the things you took
And then you [C]take that love you made
And [G]stick it into some
[Am]Someone else's heart
Pumping [F]someone else's blood
And [C]walking arm in arm
You [G]hope it don't get harmed
But [Am]even if it does
You'll just [F]do it all again
Outro
And [C]on the radio
You'll [G]hear November Rain
That [Am]solo's awful long
But [F]it's a good refrain
You'll [C]listen to it twice
'Cause the [G]DJ is asleep
[Am]On the radio
[F]On the radio
[C]On the radio (uh-oh)
[G]On the radio (uh-oh)
[Am]On the radio (uh-oh)
[F]On the radio
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
