Jack’s Mannequin – My Racing Thoughts

This video is requested from GuitarTutee.

Standard Tuning:

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
Am
It was midnight I was mixed up
G C
When she called to drag the lake

F Am
I think I’m running short on inspiration
G
She’s running long on borrowed time

Am F
We break with speed
C G
That girl can read my racing thoughts
Am F
She asks the questions
C
I take the floor
G
She takes her shots
Am 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
Am
I was raised going to church
G C
But couldn’t practice what they preached

So I’m hiring a DJ
F C
For the eve of our destruction
Am
It was midnight I was mixed up
G C
When she found me on the beach

F Am
I think I’m running low on inspiration
G
She’s running long on borrowed time

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

Chorus……….
