Standard tuning
No capo
Intro:
  F    C    Am   Gx2
CShe's a black cat
Fhanging 'round my doorstepC  
I'll need all day tomorrow
to recoFver from Ctoday
I was boxing with my shadow
At a stFoplight when the clocks cChanged
It was Fmidnight I was mixed up
WhGen she Ccalled to drag the lake
I think I'm running Fshort on inspirCation
She's running Glong on borrowed time
We breaFk with speed
That girl can Cread my Gracing thoughts
She asks the Fquestions
I taCke the floor
She takGes her shots
Taught her a FlessonC  
About a forced coAmnfessGion
We breaFk with speed
That girCls cGan read my racing thoughts
My Fracing tChoughtsAm  G  
My Fracing tChoughtsAm  G  
So I'll tCry to keep her steady now
But sFteady's not her Cstrong suit
I was raised going to church
But couldn't Fpractice what they Cpreached
So I'm hiring a DJ
For the Feve of our Cdestruction
It was Fmidnight I was mixed up
WhGen she founCd me on the beach
I think FI'm runninCg low on inspiration
She's rGunning long on borrowed time
We breaFk with speed
That girl can Cread my Gracing thoughts
She asks the Fquestions
I taCke the floor
She takGes her shots
Taught her a FlessonC  
About a forced coAmnfessGion
We breaFk with speed
That girCls cGan read my racing thoughts
My Fracing tChoughtsAm  G  
My Fracing tChoughtsAm  G  
(Interlude with the “mmmmmm”s. Strum once for each.)

Intro:

F C Am G

She's a black cat

F C

hanging 'round my doorstep

I'll need all day tomorrow

F C

to recover from today

I was boxing with my shadow

F C

At a stoplight when the clocks changed

It was midnight I was mixed up

G C

When she called to drag the lake

F C

I think I'm running short on inspiration

She's running long on borrowed time

We break with speed

C G

That girl can read my racing thoughts

She asks the questions

I take the floor

She takes her shots

F C

Taught her a lesson

Am G

About a forced confession

We break with speed

C G

That girls can read my racing thoughts

F C Am G

My racing thoughts

F C Am G

My racing thoughts

So I'll try to keep her steady now

F C

But steady's not her strong suit

I was raised going to church

F C

But couldn't practice what they preached

So I'm hiring a DJ

F C

For the eve of our destruction

It was midnight I was mixed up

G C

When she found me on the beach

F C

I think I'm running low on inspiration

She's running long on borrowed time

We break with speed

C G

That girl can read my racing thoughts

She asks the questions

I take the floor

She takes her shots

F C

Taught her a lesson

Am G

About a forced confession

We break with speed

C G

That girls can read my racing thoughts

F C Am G

My racing thoughts

F C Am G

My racing thoughts
