A
I tried giving up
Walked through quite enough
E
Had to call it a day
F#m
From an ex who showed up falling to
D
Grand piano falling on the edge of the parkway
A
Got no good advice
Hotline called me twice
E
Said, "I went through the wall
F#m
Do you have a quote to lend me
Or a friend to send me?"
D
But I got no help at all
[Pre-Chorus]
E A D
So I loosened my lips
F#m D E
And let a little prayer I memorized
A D
Do what I just wished
F#m E
And suddenly, to my surprise
[Chorus]
D A
Oh, DJ, when you play my song
E F#m
Make me feel bigger than an old King Kong
D A
At the risk of this coming out wrong
E F#m
Feel like making love with the radio on
D A
Oh, every time you play that jam
E F#m
Grabbed my baby right by her hand
D A
Even if my day was going all wrong
E F#m
Feel like making love with the radio on
[Verse 2]
A
Snatched my medicine
Light it like Edison
E
Turned it right up to the sky
F#m
You're my absolutely fictional
Pure perfection
D
My Venetian boat ride
A
Blown out speakers
And worn out tweeters
E
And still I get the effect
F#m
If you got my go-to living
Get me in the spirit
D
Even if I'm a complete wreck
[Pre-Chorus]
E A D
Don't you call it a flaw
F#m D E
Everybody needs some a peace of mind
A D
It should be the law
F#m E
To take a little private time
[Chorus]
D A
Oh, DJ, when you play my song
E F#m
Make me feel bigger than an old King Kong
D A
At the risk of this coming out wrong
E F#m
Feel like making love with the radio on
D A
Oh, every time I hear that jam
E F#m
Grabbed my baby right by her hand
D A
Even if my day was going all wrong
E F#m
Feel like making love with the radio on
[Bridge]
Bm E A F#m
I want to feel like this, so hold me forever
Bm E A F#m
Emotions are real like this and flow like a river
Bm E A F#m Bm C#m D E F#m E
And you are the only one
[Chorus]
D A
Oh, DJ, when you play my song
E F#m
Make me feel bigger than an old King Kong
D A
At the risk of this coming out wrong
E F#m
Feel like making love with the radio on
D A
Oh, every time I hear that sound
E F#m
Engine running and I'm homeward bound
D A
Even if my day was going all wrong
E F#m
Feel like making love with the radio on
[Outro]
D A
With the radio, with with the radio
E F#m
Feel like making love with the radio on
D A
With the radio, with with the radio
E F#m
Feel like making love with the radio on
D A
With the radio, with the radio
E F#m
With the radio on
D A F#m7
With the radio, with with the radio
