verse 1 

E 
I've been kind of down today 

Kind of like I can't quite make it 
                  C#m 
The pressure of a fast-track world 
D                              B  E 
Is hard to handle now and then 

verse 2 


I haven't got a lot to say  

and I've resolved 

That I won't take it anymore 
                      A 
I know that somethin' good  
             D 
is movin' in me 
              C#m 
That's when I feel the music  
B 
soothe the savage beast 
                 D 
I hear my LORD I find release 


            C#m 
Turn up the radio  
    A                 E 
and sing a song of sympathy 
            C#m 
Turn up the radio,  
    A                  E 
let freedom ring in harmony 

I hear the healing go  
       A 
to the secret place  
     E 
only God could know 
            D 
Turn up the radio,  
 A                E 
turn up the radio 

verse 3 

Don't you know I make mistakes? 

And I can surely feel forsaken 
                  C#m 
The pressure of a fast paced race 
D                              B 
Hurts my already wounded heart 

verse 4 

E 
When the road is headed down and out 

And I desire love's forgiveness 
                    A 
His Spirit calls my name  
          D 
again and again 
                       C#m    B 
That's when I feel the music soothe  

the savage beast 

I hear my Lord,  
  D 
I find His peace

C                G 
Let a message of hope sink in

Break out of the chains 

Sing a sweet refrain
