[Intro] (Fiddle riff, stomping drums, crowd-style shouts) (D — G — A) [Verse 1] (Bouncy acoustic rhythm, energetic bass groove) (D — G — A) Down by the corner bakery Saturday smoke in the air Boys in worn-out leather jackets Girls fixing flowers in their hair Old men arguing football Outside the betting store While every restless heartbeat Wanted something more [Pre-Chorus] (Fiddle lift, layered gang vocals) (Bm — G — A) Oh the radio was singing Like salvation through the night And every lonely dreamer Felt electric in the light [Chorus] (Big brass explosion, emotional singalong energy) (D — G — A) Hey now Radio Juliet Spinning like a runaway train Young hearts dancing through the thunder Trying to outrun the rain And the whole street came alive Like a fire nobody could tame We were shouting at the midnight sky Like the world still knew our names [Verse 2] (Honky piano, driving snare groove) (D — G — A) Jenny worked the diner counter Saving tips inside a jar Said she’d leave this tired old city If she ever bought a car But tonight she’s dancing barefoot On the pavement by the lights Like every broken little dream Could still survive tonight [Bridge] (Stripped fiddle and vocal section) (G — D — A — Bm) Maybe love is just a heartbeat Trying hard not to disappear Maybe youth is just the feeling That tonight we’re still here [Final Chorus] (Full brass, gang vocals, emotional climax) (D — G — A) Hey now Radio Juliet Every window shaking loud All the lost kids in the backstreets Singing proud into the crowd And the city kept on spinning Like a jukebox burning bright While we danced beneath the streetlights Till the morning killed the night [Outro] (Fading fiddle and crowd ambience) (D) The radio keeps playing
