      C9 (x3233x@1)  Pa always works on cars when he gets in a fight
G (320003@1)                                    D (xx0232@1)  As though he could figure out that woman by working on that
        C (x32010@1) Cadd9 (x32030@1)C (x32010@1)Cmaj7 (x32000@1)  old car
G (320003@1)  He said a car can cure any problem at all
          C9 (x3233x@1)  Cause seeing all those parts makes a fight look so small
G (320003@1)                            D (xx0232@1)  But I wish he'd put me and Sally in the backseat and
