Bb/C C Bb/C C Bb/C C Bb/C C
[Verse]
Bb/C C
I was making my way through the wasteland
Bb/C C
The road into town passes through
Bb/C C
I was changing the radio stations
Bb/C C
With my mind on you
[Verse]
Bb/C C
Oh, your friends call you 'Lily Paloma'
Bb/C C
But that's not the way that you are
Bb/C C
It's too much of a gentle misnomer
Bb C
For a shooting star
[Bridge]
[Refrão]
F
But you and me, baby
C F C
I saw you there, straight away I knew
F
There's really no hiding
C F C
I tell you right now what we're gonna do
Eb F
We'll go collecting the days
Ab G
Putting the moments away
[Chorus]
Bb C
You're on my mind
Bb/C C
Like a song on the radio
Bb C
You're on my mind
Bb/C C
Like a song on the radio
[Interlude]
Bb/C C Bb/C C Bb/C C Bb/C C
[Verse]
Bb/C C
I remember the first time I saw you
Bb/C C
Alone in the dark, with a drink
Bb/C C
With a candle flame burning before you
Bb/C C
And your thoughts closed in
[Verse]
Bb/C C
You were staring out into the distance
Bb/C C
Not seeming to hear what I said
Bb/C C
Why did you put up such resistance
Bb C
Like all the lights were red
[Bridge]
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Chorus]
Bb C
You're on my mind
Bb/C C
Like a song on the radio
Bb C
You're on my mind
Bb/C C
Like a song on the radio

[Verse]
Bb/C C
I don't know what it was that was painful
Bb/C C
But sometimes it's there in your face
Bb/C C
There are times when you just look disdainful
Bb/C C
Of the human race
[Verse]
Bb/C C
Ah, but then on the wings of emotion
Bb/C C
We circle each other in flight
Bb/C C
Till together we roll like the ocean
Bb C
In its bed at night
[Bridge]
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Chorus]
Bb C
You're on my mind
Bb/C C
Like a song on the radio
Bb C
You're on my mind
Bb/C C
Like a song on the radio
[Outro]
Bb/C C
Oh, woah
Bb/C C
Song on the radio
Bb/C C
Oh, woah
Bb/C C
Song on the radio
