Ruthie's knocking, oh my god

Who's she talking to?

Not a clue
                                     A
Now she's shouting, I'll be on the floor
F      G       A
You go get the door
C                G        A
Just had to make sure you knew
         C      G       A
That's a jack-o-lantern moon
C          G      A          C          G       A
Don't look in the mirror, or he'll look back at you
C       G      A
Ruthie, take a shower
C       G      A
I smell like a flower
     C          G           A
Your cats smell better than you do
    C         G     A
Her cats are pretty cool

fig.1 (x2)

Where's he now?

He's on the floor

She flips off the window and spits at the door
                             A
My advice is twice what he's worth
    F       G       A
The moon'll get him first
C    G  A
Mark my words
    C        G          A
The medicine chests are backwards
C     G   A
Don't be surprised
   C        G       A        C   G  A
If you have flaming eyes tonight
  C     G  A
Tonight
        C     G  A
Yeah, tonight
         C    G   A
Ruthie's eyes are bright
