Car Radio by Twenty One Pilots
Car Radio
The acoustic version of this song was not in the right time, so I put chords to all of
the lyrics and fixed the time. The G chord prior to the Am is more of a quick passing
chord.
Intro:
F F G Am G x2
F
I ponder of something great
F G
My lungs will fill and then deflate
Am
They fill with fire
Exhale desire
G
I know it's dire
My time today
F
I have these thoughts
F
So often I ought
To replace that slot
G Am
With what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole
G
My car radio
F
And now I just sit in silence
F G
Sometimes quiet is violent
Am
I find it hard to hide it
G
My pride is no longer inside
F
It's on my sleeve
My skin will scream
F
Reminding me of
G Am
Who I killed inside my dream
G
I hate this car that I'm driving
F
There's no hiding for me
F
I'm forced to deal with what I feel
G Am
There is no distraction to mask what is real
G
I could pull the steering wheel
F
I have these thoughts
F
So often I ought
To replace that slot
G Am
With what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole
G
My car radio
F
And now I just sit in silence
Break
F F G Am G x4
F
I ponder of something terrifying
F G
'Cause this time there's no sound to hide behind
Am
I find over the course of our human existence
G
One thing consists of consistence
F
And it's that we're all battling fear
F G
Oh dear, I don't know if we know why we're here
Am
Oh my,
Too deep
Please stop thinking
G
I liked it better when my car had sound
F
There are things we can do
F G
But from the things that work there are only two
Am
And from the two that we choose to do
G
Peace will win
And fear will lose
F
There's faith and there's sleep
F G
We need to pick one please because
Am
Faith is to be awake
G
And to be awake is for us to think
F
And for us to think is to be alive
F
And I will try with every rhyme
G Am
To come across like I am dying
G F
To let you know you need to try to think
I have these thoughts
F
So often I ought
To replace that slot
G Am
With what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole
G
My car radio
F
And now I just sit in silence
Break:
F F G Am G x 4
F
I ponder of something great
F G
My lungs will fill and then deflate
Am
They fill with fire
Exhale desire
G
I know it's dire
My time today
F
I have these thoughts
F
So often I ought
To replace that slot
G Am
With what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole
G
My car radio
F
And now I just sit in silence

'Cause this time there's no sound to hide behind,
I find over the course of our human existence,
One thing consists of consistence,
And it's that we're all battling fear,
Oh dear, I don't know if we know why we are here,
Oh my, too deep, please stop thinking,
I liked it better when my car had sound,
There are things we can do,
But from the things that work, there are only two,
And from the two that we choose to do,
Peace will win and fear will lose,
There's faith, and there's sleep,
We need to pick one please because,
Faith is to be awake, and to be awake is for us to think,
And for us to think is to be alive,
And I will try with every rhyme,
To come across like I am dying,
To let you know we need to try to think,
CHORUS:
I have these thoughts so often, I ought,
To replace that slot with what I once bought,
'Cause somebody stole my car radio,
And now I just sit in silence.
