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.
(Chorus)
