My Racing Thoughts

i Am nearly sick and tired of this song because i’ve listened to this song on loop
for three hours now trying to get the right chords . . . but it’s jack’s mannequin so
i won’t be sick of it for too long ( : enjoy! and i hope these are correct . i just
did it by ear . but definitely comment if i did anything wrong or you have any suggestions! ( :

standard tuning
no capo

intro :
F C Am G x2

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

( interlude with the mmmmmms . strum once for each . )
C F C Am G C

F C
i think i’m running short on inspiration
G
she’s running long on borrowed time

outro :
F C Am G x4 end on C
