Intro:
F5  C5  A5  G5 x2

C5
She's a black cat
F5                          C5
hanging 'round my doorstep

I'll need all day tomorrow
       F5             C5
to recover from today

I was boxing with my shadow
       F5                        C5
At a stoplight when the clocks changed
       F5
It was midnight I was mixed up
       G5                C5
When she called to drag the lake


                    F5              C5
I think I'm running short on inspiration
              G5
She's running long on borrowed time
 

            F5
We break with speed
              C5                 G5
That girl can read my racing thoughts
             F5
She asks the questions
         C5
I take the floor
            G5      
She takes her shots
             F5       C5
Taught her a lesson
                 A5        G5
About a forced confession
            F5
We break with speed
             C5             G5
That girls can read my racing thoughts
   F5       C5         A5  G5
My racing thoughts
   F5       C5         A5  G5
My racing thoughts
 
         C5
So I'll try to keep her steady now
     F5                        C5
But steady's not her strong suit

I was raised going to church
             F5                  C5
But couldn't practice what they preached

So I'm hiring a DJ
        F5               C5
For the eve of our destruction
       F5
It was midnight I was mixed up
       G5               C5
When she found me on the beach
 
                 F5               C5
I think I'm running low on inspiration
            G5
She's running long on borrowed time


            F5
We break with speed
              C5                 G5
That girl can read my racing thoughts
             F5
She asks the questions
         C5
I take the floor
            G5      
She takes her shots
             F5       C5
Taught her a lesson
                 A5        G5
About a forced confession
            F5
We break with speed
             C5             G5
