[Verse 1]
Dm Am Bb
Three A.M. I'm awakened
Gm Dm
By a sweet summer rain
Bb Gm
Distant howling of a passing Southbound coal train
Dm
Was I dreaming
Bb Gm
Or was there someone just lying here Beside me in this bed?
Dm
Am I hearing things?
Bb
Or in the next room
Gm Bb
Did a long forgotten music box just start playing?
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm C F
And I know it's a sin putting words in the mouths of the dead
Gm C F
And I know it's a crime to weave your wishes into what they said
Gm C F
And I know only fools venture where them spirits tread
G C F
Cause I know every word, every sound bouncing 'round my head
[Chorus]
Gm
Is just static on the radio
Bb
static on the radio
Gm
Is just static on the radio
Bb
static on the radio
Gm
Is just static on the radio
Bb F
Everything I think I know is just static on the radio
Gm
Is just static on the radio
Bb F
Everything I think I know is just static on the radio

[Verse 2]
Bb Eb Dm
Midnight rendevous
Bb
With a pretty girl
Gm Bb
Wearing a torn and tear-stained gown
Gm Bb
Like a ghost ship she appeared from nowhere
Gm F
On a lonely highway and flagged me down
Dm Bb
I gave her a lift downtown to the Greyhound station
Gm Bb
Under the flicker of the neon light
Dm
She kissed me goodbye
Bb Gm Bb
And in the mirror of her eyes I saw my own reflection
[Pre-chorus]
A Gm C F
And I know the blind will sometimes lead the blind
Gm C F
And I know through shadowlands and troubled times
G C F
And I know forsaking love, we see it's a sign
Gm C F
And I know of truths forever hid behind
[Chorus]
Gm
Is just static on the radio
Bb
static on the radio
Gm
Is just static on the radio
Bb
static on the radio
Gm
Is just static on the radio
Bb F
Everything I think I know is just static on the radio
Gm
Is just static on the radio
Bb F
Everything I think I know is just static on the radio
[Verse 3]
Dm
Now there's a church house
Bb
About a stone's throw down
Gm Bb
From this place where I been staying
Dm
It's Sunday morning
Bb
And I'm sittin' in my truck
Gm Bb
Listening to my neighbor sing
Dm Bb
Ten years ago I might have joined in
Gm Bb
But don't time change those inclined
Dm A Bb
To think less of what is written
Gm Bb
Than what's wrote between the lines?
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm C F
Cause I know dreams are for those who are asleep in bed
Gm C F
And I know it's a sin putting words in the mouths of the dead
Gm C F
Cause I know for all my ruminations I can't change a thing
Gm C F
Still I hope there's others out there who are listening
[Outro]
Gm
To the static on the radio
Bb F Eb
Static on the radio
Gm
Static on the radio
Bb F Eb
Everything I think I know is just static on the radio
Gm
Static on the radio
Bb F Eb
Ain't praying for miracles, I'm just down on my knees
Gm
Static on the radio
Bb F Eb
Listening for the song behind everything I think I know
Gm
Static on the radio
Bb F Eb
Everything I think I know is just static on the radio
Gm Bb F Eb
Everything I think I know is just static on the radio
