B                        F#                        
Playing on your radio, coming through your stereo
        Gm
And everybody's getting down

You can't seem to let it go, running like a video

You're haunted by the weight of sound

The sun it is a sinking low, I'm thinking that it's time to go

And everybody's headed home

Watch them as they come and go, listen to your soul it knows
Gm
Can you feel the weight of sound?

It's just love there's nothing that's more real

This love, and the way it makes you feel
