it's pumping through my
B                         E

There's a broken CD player in
the backseat of my car
Next to the pieces of what's left
from my first guitar
There's nothing left to do but crank it up loud
It's pumping through my head and its
knocking me out
It doesn't really matter what's going on now
'Cuz all I wanna do is

Chorus - x2

G#m  F#     E
some people say
B        F#
that my radio
   G#m

    F#       E
but i won't let
          F#
myself believe it

          B
keep the radio playing
C#m
all night long
             E
we left the radio
playing all night long
             B
because the radio's playing
C#m              E
all my favorite songs
          B
keep the radio playing
C#m
all night long
             E
we left the radio
playing all night long
             B
because the radio's playing
C#m              E
all my favorite songs
