D       A        Em       G      A         D 
Clothes make the man. The house makes the heart,  
              A                Em        G 
don’t get me started about how hard it is 
    D                A         Em 
to start or stay on track, or don’t dream,  
    D             A         Em 
or do whether you want, or want not to. 

G              D        A                  Em          G 
What I arrived to, the radio took me, the radio radio made me. 
           D       A        Em 
What can I do but dre--------am? 
G           D        A                 Em                         G 
What can we do, but listen to stories, wretched or glorious? 
              D            A 
Is it me and you in other sce-------nes? 

D        A            Em      A                    D 
I don’t mind if it’s raining. I don’t mind if it’s hot. 
         A               Em               A 
I don’t mind what you’re thinking. 
                           D 
and I don’t mind if you’re not.
