1. Why do you always wrongly assume

                      Dm                         G

    that you're so well aware of what's happ'ning there,

C            F

    right here in this room ?

2. You're just an antenna,         you're just a wire.

                       Dm                                                 G

    There's a thousand tongues wagging in your ears tonight,

                   C                               F

    and you turn around and you call me a liar.

 

G                D                  C

    Lightly, babe, oh, the fine lights cannot find you,

she stay out my way, it's the pulse I am aligned to.

3. Well, you're just an antenna,         you're just a code.

                   Dm                           G

    you translate like a book, the fuses all cook,

            C                               F

    you eat humble pie and it tastes of the road.

 

G                D                  C

    Lightly, babe, oh, the fine lights cannot find you,

         G                     D                   C

she say, that's the way, that's the fate I am resigned to.

4. You're just an antenna,        you're just a gauge,

           Dm                                  G

    you disturb my slumber and round up the numbers,

             C                              F

    and put them inside your velvety cage.

 

    G                 D                  C

+       Lightly, babe, oh, the fine lights cannot find you,

             G                     D                                           C

    she say, make my day, and the sunlight will not blind you.

G               D                         C

    Lightly, babe, oh, the fine lights cannot find you,

         G               D             C

    I may never pray to the fortune that's behind you.
