Am-riff      Dm                      Am-riff

Antiques!  Every other sentiment an antique

  Dm                          Dm7

As obsolete as warships in the Baltic

   Am-riff    Dm                           Am-riff

I'm driving    on a straight road, it never alters

       Dm                          Dm7

And the radio serenades and doesn't falter

Bridge 1:

C          F                     G

You offer  infrared instead of sun

C         F                       G

You offer paper spoons and bubble gum

Am-riff               Dm                         Am-riff

Late sky-like an all-night radio station without morning

    Dm                                Dm7

Like stumbling on Pearl Harbor without warning

Bridge 2:

C          F                   G

You offer  infrared instead of sun

C         F                          

You offer bubble gum

Chorus:

D           Dmaj7  A                      Gmaj7

You give me Faron  Young, four in the morning

(repeat)

EmBm  Em    Bm

Every mother's son romantic,

GmC         Am-riff

Every mother's son is frantic

      DmAm-riff

The sunset makes a fence out of the forest

Dm        Dm7Am-riff

And here I am with head inside the bonnet

      DmDm7

I've lost just what it takes to be honest

Bridge2

Chorus
