      Em
I was driving up from Tampa

When the radiator burst

I was three sheets to the wind

A civilian saw me first
     Am
And then there was the cop
                                           Em
And then the children standing on the corner
    C                               B   
Your love is like a cyclone in a swamp
                                 Em
And the weather's getting warmer
