Chords

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! (: 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

	      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
