Also my second version

F
I'd sit alone and watch your light
Gmi
My only friend through teenage nights
Bb
And everything I had to know
Gmi           Bb F
I heard it on my radio
Bb F
Radio

You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds - invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh - you made 'em cry
You made us feel like we could fly

F
So don't become some background noise
Bb
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know or just don't care
Gmi
And just complain when you're not there
F
You had your time, you had the power
Gmi
You've yet to have your finest hour
Bb F Bb F
Radio

F
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear isRadio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Eb       C
Radio what's new?
Bb     C   Bb    C     F
Radio, someone still loves you!
