My Racing Thoughts

Intro: F  C  Am  G (2x) 

C 
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 
       F 
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 
              G 
She's running long on borrowed time 
  

	      F 
We break with speed 
              C		     G 
That girl can read my racing thoughts 
             F 
She asks the questions 
	   C 
I take the floor 
	      G	 
She takes her shots 
             F       C 
Taught her a lesson 
                 Am	  G 
About a forced confession 
	      F 
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 
  
         C 
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 
       F 
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 
	      G 
She's running long on borrowed time 


	      F 
We break with speed 
              C		     G 
That girl can read my racing thoughts 
             F 
She asks the questions 
	   C 
I take the floor 
	      G	 
She takes her shots 
             F       C 
Taught her a lesson 
                 Am	  G 
About a forced confession 
	      F 
We break with speed 
	       C		 G
