G C D (2x)
[Verse 1]
G C G
They say music is the language of the soul
G C D
And I guess that mine speaks fluent rock and roll
G C G
An old RCA transistor radio,
G C D
the first thing I ever bought with my own dough
C D G C
Staying up late, tuning in, those songs became my closest friends
G C Em D
Introduced to me by all night DJs miles away
[Chorus]
G C G
Please come back, Captain Midnight come on back
G C D
There’s a hole inside my soul the size of vinyl, grooved and black
C D G C
I long for all that used to be, come play an old request for me
G C Em D
Teenage love and drive-ins, serving burgers by the sack
C D G
Yeah we miss you Captain Midnight please come back
[Verse 2]
G C G
I remember driving Dad’s old Chevrolet
G C D
With the DJ riding shotgun all the way
G C G
Cruising Whitehall Strip most every Friday night
G C D
As the radio played the soundtrack to my life
C D G C
They cut a place deep in our hearts, following stars and the record charts
G C Em D
Connecting every song we love to a special place and time
[Chorus]
G C G
Please come back, Captain Midnight come on back
G C D
Float across the River Styx in Dante’s pale grey Cadillac
C D
The air is full of with pirate ghosts,
G C
and there’s an empty station off the coast
G C Em D
With a hundred-watt antenna and a reel-to-reel four-track
C D G
Yeah, we miss you Captain Midnight please come back.
[Bridge]
Em C G/B D
I can hear that old familiar voice and and fearless summer air
C G/B Em D
He’s sending this one out to all those lonely kids out there
[Chorus]
G C G
Please come back, Captain Midnight come on back
G C D
Hop the train from any depot where you are and jump the track
C D G C
Cause all the songs our DJ plays come from a corporate database
G C Em D
And If you showed up in the boardroom they might give our airwaves back
C D G
Yeah, we miss you Captain Midnight come on back
C D G
Yeah we miss you Captain Midnight, please come back
