Roadrunner, roadrunner
                           C  C  G
Going faster miles an hour
                                    C  C  G
Gonna drive past the Stop 'n' Shop
                  C  C  G
With the radio on
                                 C  C  G
I'm in love with Massachusetts
                                    C  C  G
And the neon when it's cold outside
                                        C  C  G
And the highway when it's late at night
                  C
Got the radio on
C   G                    C  C  G
I'm like the roadrunner

I'm in love with Massachusetts
                               C  C  G
I'm in love with the radio on

It helps me from being alone late at night
                                         C  C  G
Helps me from being lonely late at night
                                    C  C  G
I don't feel so bad now in the car

Like the roadrunner, that's right


[Interlude]
C  C  G  3x


[Verse]
                                    C  C  G
Said welcome to the spirit of 1956
                                   C  C  G
Patient in the bushes next to '57

The highway is your girlfriend
                    C  C  G
as you go by quick

Suburban trees, suburban speed
                                  C  C  G
And it smells like heaven, I say
                 G  G    \
Roadrunner once
                  G   G  \
Roadrunner twice

I'm in love with rock & roll
    G
and I'll be out all night, roadrunner
             C  C  G
That's right


[Solo]
C  C  G  16x

          C  C  G
Well now
                        C  C  G
Roadrunner, roadrunner
                            C  C  G
Going faster miles an hour
                                  C  C  G
Gonna drive to the Stop 'n' Shop
                           C  C  G
With the radio on at night
                                    C  C  G
And me in love with modern moonlight
                                    C  C  G
Me in love with modern rock & roll
                                    C  C  G
Modern girls and modern rock & roll
                                      C  C  G
Don't feel so alone, got the radio on

Like the roadrunner
                                    C  C  G
O.K. now you sing Modern Lovers
