[verse]
E               A      G#m    F#m
   I’m like a snowball in the sun
             B       A    E
You make me feel so good inside
            A       G#m    F#m
I’m like a raincoat in the rain
             B     A        E
You are the sugar and the spice
            A       G#m      F#m
If this is love we fit right in
               B      A      E
We’re lookin’ good in every light

[chorus]
F#m                                   G#m
I’m in the water, won’t you teach me how to swim
C#m          B                   A
I know a shortcut to the shore
F#m                              G#m
I hear the music and the drummers name is Tim
A                               B
He plays the snare on two and four

[verse]
E             A       G#m     F#m
  I’m like an icecube in the fridge
              B       A          E
I just can’t wait to cool your drink
            A    G#m   F#m
I’m like a mango on a peachtree
             B      A       E
You are the summer to my spring
            A       G#m      F#m
If this is love we fit right in
              B          A        E
You play the queen, I’ll be your king

[chorus]
I’m in the water, let me get back on the boat
I know a shortcut to the shore
I hear the music and the singers name is Toad
He claps his hands on two and four

[solo]

[verse]
I’m like a penguin on the bayou
I might as well be floatin’ in space

I’m like a clown without his make-up
You put the smile back onto my face

End:
            A      G#m       F#m

             B       A       E (let ring)
It makes no sense in any ole way!
