You live your life in the songs you hear...
          Em7               Em7
...on the rock'n'roll radi - o,

    Em7                       Em7
And when a young girl doesn't have any friends,
          Em7                 Em7
That's a really nice place to go,

Am7                    D7           Gmaj7                        Cmaj7
   Folks hoping you'd turn out cool,     but they had to take you out of school,
         B7sus4               B7
You're a little touched, you know,

Lovers appear in your room each night,
          Em7                 (Em7)
And they whirl you across the floor,

          Em7           Em7
But they always seem to fade away,
           Em7                 Em7
When your Daddy knocks on the door,

Am7                    D7          Gmaj7             Cmaj7
    "Angie, girl, are you alright?      Tell the radi - o,'goodnight'!"
B7sus4           B7
 All alone once more,

Stopping at her house is a neighbour boy, 
     Em7         (Em7)
With evil on his mind,

       Em7                   Em7             Em7
'Cause he's been peeking in Angie's room at night,
                   (Em7)
Through her window blind,

Am7                        D7       Gmaj7                   Cmaj7
   "I see your folks have gone away!     Would you dance with me today?
     B7sus4                       B7
I'll show you how to have a good time,

        (Em7)
When he walks in her room, he feels confused, like he walked into a play,
        (Em7)
And the music's so loud, it spins him around, till his soul has lost it's way,
Em F#m  G(type2)
                   And as she turns the volume down,
G(type2)  Ab   A
                   He's getting smaller with the sound,
C                                        D
   It seems to pull him off the ground,     toward the radio he's bound,
  E

The headlines read that a boy disappeared, and everyone thinks he died,
         Em7               Em7
'Cept a crazy girl with a secret lover,
     Em7              (Em7)
Who keeps her satis - fied,
