1. You live your life in the songs you hear

 

    on the rock'n'roll radio,

             Em

    and when a young girl doesn't have any friends,

 

    that's a really nice place to go.

Am                              D7

    Folks hoping you'd turn out cool,

G                                          C

    but they had to take you out of school,

2. Lovers appear in your room each night,

 

    and they whirl you across the floor,

                  Em

    but they always seem to fade away,

 

    when your Daddy knocks on the door,

Am                          D7

    "Angie, girl, are you alright ?

G                    C

    Tell the radio, 'goodnight'!"

3. Stopping at her house is a neighbour boy,

 

    with evil on his mind,

               Em

    'cause he's been peeking in Angie's room

 

    at night, through her window blind.

Am                                  D7

   "I see your folks have gone away,

G                                       C

    would you dance with me today ?

            B7                                                            Em

    I'll show you how to have a good time, Angie baby."

4. When he walks in her room, he feels confused,

 

    like he walked into a play,

                  Em

    and the music's so loud, it spins him around,

 

    till his soul has lost it's way.

Em

    And as she turns the volume down,

A

    he's getting smaller with the sound,

C

    it seems to pull him off the ground,

D                                                  E

    toward the radio he's bound, never to be found !        +  Em ~

 

            Em

5. The headlines read that a boy disappeared,

 

    and everyone thinks he died,

                Em

    'cept a crazy girl with a secret lover,

 

    who keeps her satisfied,

Am                     D

    It's so nice to be insane,

G                             C
