Verse 1
G
I've been going through a hell of a time
Em7Cadd9
Making sense of all that you left behind
D
When I arrange it into columns and lines
Em7Cadd9
I always think it's adding up, but it never does
G
So in the morning maybe I'll be alright
Em7Cadd9
And through the day I'll prepare for the fight
D
With a fever on a Saturday night
Em7Cadd9
Cause this is giving me the shakes and butterflies
Pre-Chorus
DEm7
And if you don't stop running you can never breathe
Cadd9Cadd9
When everything you want is everything you see
DEm7
But when it comes to decision baby, him or me
Cadd9Cadd9
Well I hope you can fill the need
Chorus
GF#/D
What made you an alley cat scratching me?
Em7D
You dig deep with your nails and flash your teeth
Cadd9D
And run off to where your next big meal could be
GF#/D
What made you an alley cat scratching me?
Em7D
You dig deep with your nails and flash your teeth
Cadd9D
And run off because you must be tired of me
A7sus4G/BCadd9D
Run off because you must be tired of me

Verse 2
G
And there's a scene I will always replay
Em7Cadd9
At the moment when my hand touched your face
D
I could see your eyes turning away
Em7Cadd9
But I've been standing my ground with you babe
Pre-Chorus
DEm7
And if you don't stop running you can never breathe
Cadd9Cadd9
When everything you want is everything you see
DEm7
But when it comes to decision baby, him or me

Well I hope you can fill the need

Outro
GCadd9
And I fall in love with somebody everyday
GEm7Cadd9
As they step aside when I'm walking by, or smile at something I say
GEmCadd9
But I promised you it would never get in the way
DEm7
Of stability but the joke's on me
Cadd9DCadd9
Cause you were the one who got carried away
GCadd9
You got carried away
Em7DCadd9G
He carried you away, oh
Cadd9Em7
Carried you away, oh
DCadd9
Carried you away
