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 is	Radio ga ga
				Radio blah blah
	Eb	       C
	Radio what's new?
	Bb	     C   Bb    C     F
	Radio, someone still loves you!
