Honey, baby, I [Am] believe he got just [Bm] two legs.
Yes.
[Em] Oh, I smell a rat.
I smell a rat in my house.
Yeah.
Honey, I think [A] he's walking around too late.
[D]
[F#m] You know I need a rat in my [E] house like this now.
[B]
Just like I need a [F#m] hole in my head.
[F#]
[Bm] You claim to be a rat at night.
You said you can't stay home all alone.
[F#] [Bm] Oh, [Em] you said you're a rat.
You're afraid to stay home at night.
You said you didn't want to be home [D] alone.
[F#m] Oh, but I keep smelling that rat every time I get [Em] back.
And all you [Bm] do is want to make me [F#m] moan.
[Bm]
You got my [F#m] back door wide open.
[D] Baby, you say you're supposed to be fresh.
[F#m] Yes.
No, baby.
[E] Oh, you got my back [Em] door wide open.
And [Bm] you [F#m] tell me you're supposed [Bm] to be a [E] fresh.
[F#m] [B] You know the last time I snapped [Em] with it open,
[D] you know in Chicago [Bm] I almost lost my head.
[F#]
[Bm] Sometimes I think you're fooling me, baby.
[B] [D] And I do believe you're just [Bm] driving me around.
[F#m] You got to stop that.
Uh-huh.
[Em] Oh, sometimes I think you're fooling me, baby.
[Bm] Uh [E]-huh.
Honey, I think you're just [Bm] driving me around.
[F#m] Why don't you leave me [Em] alone, woman?
[D] You know, I think there's [Bm] another woman I can go, [D] I can be found.
[Bm] Oh, oh, oh.
[F#] Oh, oh, [Bm] oh.
What's the matter, baby?

[F#m] [F#] What's the matter?
I think if you're willing to [Bm] explain, [E]
honey, I'm not that [B] hard to understand.
[F#] No.
[Em] Did you ever try to sit down and explain?
[D] Honey, I'm not that hard [Bm] to understand.
[F#] [F#m] You wouldn't be sleeping with the back door [Em] open. Uh-huh.
Baby, if it there [D] wasn't another man.
But [F#] you know what?
[E] You're so good.
[B] I [D] don't believe I would leave you alone.
Not the woman.
[Em] Oh, you're so sweet to me.
[B] [D] I don't believe I [Bm] could leave you alone.
[D] [F#m] Stay and keep it [Em] like you got it, woman.
[B] [Bm] And probably make me a happy home.
[F#m] [B]
[Bm] Yeah.
