[Verse]
                            A  A  E
one two three four five six
                       A  A  E
Roadrunner, roadrunner
                            A  A  E
Going faster miles an hour
                                   A  A  E
Gonna drive past the Stop 'n' Shop
                  A  A  E
With the radio on


[Verse]
                               A  A  E
I'm in love with Massachusetts
                                    A  A  E
And the neon when it's cold outside
                                        A  A  E
And the highway when it's late at night
                 A  A  E
Got the radio on
                        A  A  E
I'm like the roadrunner

[Verse]
        A  A  E
Alright
                                  A  A  E
I'm in love with modern moonlight
                           A  A  E
128 when it's dark outside
                               A  A  E
I'm in love with Massachusetts
                              A  A  E
I'm in love with the radio on
                                           A  A  E
It helps me from being alone late at night
                                            A  A  E
It helps me from being lonely late at night
                                    A  A  E
I don't feel so bad now in the car
                                      A  A  E
Don't feel so alone, got the radio on
                    A  A  E
Like the roadrunner
             A  A  E
That's right


[Interlude]

[Verse]
                                   A  A  E
Said welcome to the spirit of 1956
                                   A  A  E
Patient in the bushes next to '57
                                                  A  A  E
The highway is your girlfriend as you go by quick
                               A  A  E
Suburban trees, suburban speed
                                   A  A  E
And it smells like heaven(thunder)
                          A  A  \
And I say roadrunner once
                  A  A  \
Roadrunner twice
                                                       A  A  E
I'm in love with rock & roll and I'll be out all night
            A  A  E
Roadrunner
             A  A  E
That's right

[Verse]
          A  A  E
Well now
                       A  A  E
Roadrunner, roadrunner
                           A  A  E
Going faster miles an hour
                                 A  A  E
Gonna drive to the Stop 'n' Shop
                           A  A  E
With the radio on at night
                                     A  A  E
And me in love with modern moonlight
                                   A  A  E
Me in love with modern rock & roll
                                    A  A  E
Modern girls and modern rock & roll
                                      A  A  E
Don't feel so alone, got the radio on
                    A  A  E
Like the roadrunner
                                 A  A  E
O.K., now you sing Modern Lovers
