D           G6              Asus4    A c♯ d e
I heard you on the wireless back in 52
D      G6               Asus4        A c♯ d e
Lying awake in bed then tuning in on you
D        G6              Asus4           A c♯ d e
If I was young it didn't stop you comin' through

(Oh a oh)

They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine and new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see

(Oh a oh) I met your children                    (basse rentre  f♯  g  a)
(Oh a oh) What did you tell them ?

  D        A/C♯     G/B
  Pictures came and broke your heart

  A         Bm
  (Oh a a a oh)

And now we meet in an abandoned studio 
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago    (w/ ah-ah)
And you remember the jingles used to go

(Oh a oh) You were the first one
(Oh a oh) You were the last one

  Video killed the radio star  x 2

  In my mind and in my car
  We can't rewind we've gone too far

  (Oh a a a oh)  x 2

  In my mind and in my car                       (doux)
  We can't rewind we've gone too far
  Pictures came and broke your heart
  Put the blame on VCR                           (reste)

    D    G6  Asus4      A     D     G6  Asus4  A
