[Verse 1]
                          G
I've been going through a hell of a time
                         Em7             Cadd9
Making sense of all that you left behind
                       D
When I arrange it into columns and lines
                           Em7               Cadd9
I always think it's adding up, but it never does
                        G
So in the morning maybe I'll be alright
                            Em7               Cadd9
And through the day I'll prepare for the fight
                  D
With a fever on a Saturday night
                            Em7                   Cadd9
Cause this is giving me the shakes and butterflies

[Pre-Chorus]
           D                          Em7
And if you don't stop running you can never breathe
          Cadd9                  Cadd9
When everything you want is everything you see
            D                       Em7
But when it comes to decision baby, him or me
       Cadd9                  Cadd9
Well I hope you can fill the need


[Chorus]
G                            F#/D
  What made you an alley cat scratching me?
Em7                               D
 You dig deep with your nails and flash your teeth
Cadd9                      D
 And run off to where your next big meal could be
G                           F#/D
 What made you an alley cat scratching me?
Em7                               D
 You dig deep with your nails and flash your teeth
Cadd9                    D
 And run off because you must be tired of me
A7sus4  G/B          Cadd9   D
 Run off because you must be tired of me

[Verse 2]
                           G
And there's a scene I will always replay
                      Em7                    Cadd9
At the moment when my hand touched your face
                      D
I could see your eyes turning away
                          Em7                 Cadd9
But I've been standing my ground with you babe


[Pre-Chorus]
            D                         Em7
And if you don't stop running you can never breathe
          Cadd9                  Cadd9
When everything you want is everything you see
            D                       Em7
But when it comes to decision baby, him or me
       Cadd9                  Cadd9
Well I hope you can fill the need


[Chorus]
G                            F#/D
  What made you an alley cat scratching me?
Em7                               D
 You dig deep with your nails and flash your teeth
Cadd9                      D
 And run off to where your next big meal could be
G                           F#/D
 What made you an alley cat scratching me?
Em7                               D
 You dig deep with your nails and flash your teeth
Cadd9                    D
 And run off because you must be tired of me
A7sus4  G/B          Cadd9   D
 Run off because you must be tired of me

[Outro]
      G                                   Em7 Cadd9
And I fall in love with somebody everyday
        G                                  Em7                  Cadd9
As they step aside when I'm walking by, or smile at something I say
      G                                       Em7 Cadd9
But I promised you it would never get in the way
      D              Em7
Of stability but the joke's on me
      Cadd9                D             Cadd9
Cause you were the one who got carried away
G                  Cadd9
 You got carried away
Em7 D             Cadd9 G
 He carried you away,  oh
              Cadd9 Em7
Carried you away,  oh
D            Cadd9
Carried you away
