[Em] _ _ _ _ [Am] [Abm] I think I smell a rat in my house.
[Am] _ _ _
Baby, I believe he's got just two legs.
[C] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
Oh, I think I smell a rat in my _ house.
_ _ _ [Am] _ _
[Em] Baby, I [Am] believe he's walking around on two [G] legs.
_ _ _ [Em] _ _
You know, I need a rat in my [Dm] house like this now,
_ _ just [Am] like I need a hole in my head. _ _
_ [G] _ [E] [Gm] You [Am] _
[C] claim to be afraid at [Abm] night.
[Am] _ _
You said you can't stay home all alone.
[C] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ [Dm] _
You said you're afraid, you're afraid to stay home at night.
_ _ _ [Am] _ _
[C] You said you didn't want to [Am] be home all alone.
[G] _ [C] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
[Em] But I keep smelling that rat [Dm] every time I get back.
_ [Am] And all you do is want to make me moan.
Hey, [Em] _ you [Am] _
got my back door wide open. _ _ _
Baby, you said you're supposed to be afraid.
[C] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
[G] _ _ _ [D] _ [Dm] _
You got my back door, my back door wide open.
_ _ _ _ [Am] _
[E] And you tell me [Am] you're supposed to be afraid.
[G] _ [C] _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
[Em] You know, the last time I slept with it [Dm] open, _
_ you know, in [Am] New Orleans, I almost lost my head.
Hey, _ [Em] sometime _ [Am] _
I think you're fooling me, baby. _ _
[G] _ [C] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
[C] I do believe you're [Am] just driving me around.
[G] _ _ [Am] _ _ [Dm] _ _
Sometime I think you're fooling me, baby.
_ _ _ _ [Am] _
Honey, I think you're just _ driving me around.
_ _ [Em] _ _
Why don't you just leave me [Dm] now, mama? _
_ You know, I [A] think there's [Am] another woman I can hold,
not to be found. _

_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
think if you have ever explained, _ _
[G] _ [C] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
[C] honey, I'm not that [Am] hard to understand.
[G] _ [C] _ _ _ [Dm] Could you ever sit down, sit down and try to explain?
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
[C] Baby, I'm not that [Am] hard to understand.
[G] _ [C] _ [Eb] _ _ [Gm] You [Em] wouldn't be sleeping with that [Dm] back door open.
_ _ Baby, [Am] if you're there with another man, oh, _ [E] _ you're [Am] _
so good. _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
I [C] don't [Gm] believe I could leave you [Am] alone. _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] Hey, you're so sweet to me. _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _
Baby, I don't believe I could leave you alone.
_ _ _ [Em] _ _
So stay and keep it like you got it, [Dm] woman. _
_ Oh, it's trying [Am] to make me a happy home.
