Intro:  F9   F9   C9   C9

C9
Eighty dollars roundtrip, anywhere you fly

Well that sounds like a winner, but before I book the flight
     F9
Hey, talk me out of Tampa
C9
Tell me bout New Orleans, just when is that Mardi Gras

Well then how about Chicago, is it still cold there now or not
 F9
Talk me out of Tampa


Chorus:
       Am                G
I mean surely there's a hurricane
F
Due to hit there anyday
C9
Won't that close the beaches and the airport
   Am                G
Or maybe it's still way too hot
    F             
Or did I hear somewhere you stopped
C9
Flying in to that part of the country
                   Dm                
You can think of something can't you
F                     C9
Just talk me out of Tampa


C9
Between that first ride at Busch Gardens, and room 8 Bayside motel

There's no way around the memories, don't let me do this to myself
F9
Talk me out of Tampa
         C9
I'd just wind up at her front door, she's still livin' there I bet

Oh but what if she's not there alone

There goes what pride that I've got left
F9
Talk me out of Tampa, please


CHORUS


F9   F9   C9  C9


Chorus:
        Am                G
Put me somewhere nowhere even close
    F
To where I feel when my heart broke
C9
Exactly six months ago this weekend
Am              G
I just need to get away
    F             
Without your help ma'am I'm afraid
C9
It wouldn't be a getaway at all
                 Dm                
You can make up something can't you
F                     C9
Just talk me out of Tampa


C9
Eighty dollars roundtrip, anywhere you fly
