[C#7#9]You jump in front of my car when you, [F#7]you know all the time, that a
[C#7#9]Ninety mi-les an hour girl is the [F#7]speed I drive
[Bm7]You tell me it's al-right, [E7b9]you don't mind a little pain
[Am7]You say you just want me to [G#7b5]take you for a drive
You're just like
[C#7#9](Crosstown traffic) so hard to [F#7]get through to you
[C#7#9](Crosstown traffic) I don't need to [F#7]run over you
[C#7#9](Crosstown traffic) all you do is slow me down
and I'm [Bsus4]trying to get to the other side of town
[C#7#9]I'm not the only soul who's [F#]accused of hit and run
[C#7#9]Tyre tracks all across your back I can [F#](heh) I can see you had your
fun
But ah, [B7#9] darlin' can't you see my [E7b9]signals turn from green to red
[A7#9]and with you I see a traffic jam [G#7b5]straight up ahead
Chorus (twice)
