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)

Bass and keyboard interlude with guitar solo fading in:

Drums and bass intro. repeated

Verse 3:
No more speed I'm almost there.
Gotta keep cool, now, gotta take care.
Last car to pass, here I go.
The line of cars go down real slow.
The radio plays that forgotten song.
Brenda Lee's coming on strong.
The news man sang his same song,
One more radar lover gone.

Chorus:
E                                B            F#m
When I'm feeling lonely and I'm sure I've had enough.
E                              B
  She sends the 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    F#m
  We got a light in the sky
D        A             E            F#m
We got a thing and its called radar love
D          A            E
  We got a thing that's called
      F#m
Radar love
