[Dm Dm]3 AM AM I’m awakened[Bb Bb]
By a [Gm Gm]sweet summer [Dm Dm]rain
Distant howling of a [Bb Bb]passing [Gm Gm]
Southbound coal train
[Dm Dm]Was I dreaming
Or was there [Bb Bb]someone just lying[Gm Gm] here Beside me [Dm Dm]in this bed?
Am Am I hearing things?
Or in the [Bb Bb]next room
Did a [Gm Gm]long forgotten music box [Bb Bb]just start playing?


Chorus
And I kn[Gm Gm]ow
(it’s a [C C]sin putting words in the [F F]mouths of the dead)
And I kn[Gm Gm]ow
(it’s a [C C]crime to weave your wishes [F F]into what they said)
And I kn[Gm Gm]ow
(only [C C]fools venture where them [F F]spirits tread)
'Cause I kn[G G]ow
(every [C C]word, every sound bouncing [F F]'round my head)

Is just sta[Gm Gm]tic on the radio Is just sta[Bb Bb]tic on the radi[F F]o [D# D#]
Is just sta[Gm Gm]tic on the radio Is just sta[Bb Bb]tic on the radi[F F]o [D# D#]
Is just sta[Gm Gm]tic on the radio
(Everything I [Bb Bb]think I know is just [F F]static on the radi[D# D#]o)
Is just sta[Gm Gm]tic on the radio
(Everything I [Bb Bb]think I know is just [F F]static on the radi[D# D#]o)


[Bb Bb] [D# D#]Midnight [Dm Dm]rendezvous with a [Bb Bb]pretty girl
Wearing a [Gm Gm]torn and tear-stained [Bb Bb]gown.
Like a [Gm Gm]ghost ship she appeared from no[Bb Bb]where
On a lonely [Gm Gm]highway and flagged me [F F]down.
I gave her a [Dm Dm]lift downtown to the Grey[Bb Bb]hound station
And in the [Gm Gm]flicker of the neon li[Bb Bb]ghts,
She [Dm Dm]kissed me goodbye, and in the [Bb Bb]mirror of her eyes
[Gm Gm]I saw my own refle[Bb Bb]ction.


Chorus
[A A]And I kn[Gm Gm]ow
(the [C C]blind will sometimes [F F]lead the blind)
And I kn[Gm Gm]ow
(through [C C]shadow lands and [F F]troubled times)
And I kn[G G]mow
(forsa[C C]king love, we se[F F]ek the signs)
And I kn[Gm Gm]ow
(of [C C]truths forever [F F]hid behind)

Is just sta[Gm Gm]tic on the radio Is just sta[Bb Bb]tic on the radi[F F]o [D# D#]
Is just sta[Gm Gm]tic on the radio Is just sta[Bb Bb]tic on the radi[F F]o [D# D#]
Is just sta[Gm Gm]tic on the radio
(Everything I [Bb Bb]think I know is just [F F]static on the radi[D# D#]o)
Is just sta[Gm Gm]tic on the radio
(Everything I [Bb Bb]think I know is just [F F]static on the radi[D# D#]o)

[Dm Dm]Now there's a church house
About a [Bb Bb]stone's throw down
From this [Gm Gm]place where I been stay[Bb Bb]ing
It's Sunday [Dm Dm]morning
And I'm [Bb Bb]sittin' in my truck
[Gm Gm]Listening to my neighbor s[Bb Bb]ing
Ten [Dm Dm]years ago I might have j[Bb Bb]oined in
But don’t ti[Gm Gm]me change those incl[Bb Bb]ined
To think [Dm Dm]less of wh[A A]at is writ[Bb Bb]ten
Than what’s wr[Gm Gm]ote between the lin[Bb Bb]es?


Chorus
'Cause I kn[Gm Gm]ow
([C C]dreams are for those who are as[F F]leep in bed)
And I kn[Gm Gm]ow
(it's a [C C]sin putting words in the [F F]mouths of the dead)
'Cause I kn[Gm Gm]ow
(for all my rum[C C]inations I can't change[F F] a thing
Still I ho[Gm Gm]pe
(there's [C C]others out there who are list[F F]ening)
