Verse 1
     Dm7            G7              Cmaj7 
I've never been the kind to fall in love 
          Dm7                G7                     Cmaj7 
It's just me and a couple of fleas and that's all I want 
       Dm7                     G7 
Cause' I've got my back and my backs got me 
        C       C7       A7 
And I'm good as good can be 
          F 
Is what I thought 
Fm           Cmaj7 
 Until I met you 
 
Verse 2
             Cmaj7 
As branches swayed in the autumn breeze 
          G7 
Our amber eyes met between the leaves 
    G7 
And somehow every sound around me 
    C           C7   A7 
Had broken into harmony 
    F             Fm          Cmaj7  A7 
I'd never heard a sweeter melody 
 
Chorus
              F                Fm 
And I've been thinking for sometime 
        Cmaj7          A7 
How to spend all these nine lives 
        F            Fm                 Cmaj7 
I guess just maybe I could spend one on you 
 
Verse 3
  Dm7              G7             Cmaj7 
I don't know why I feel the way I do 
   Dm7                          G7                 Cmaj7 
My head's a little fuzzy and my feelings are all askew 
    Dm7                 G7 
But one thing I know is true 
        C      C7        A7 
Is that I'd go black and blue 
           F 
To see you through 
Fm    Cmaj7 
 Mmmmm 
 
Verse 4
           Cmaj7 
Let's run away with our muddy paws 
       G7 
In the rain and watch the clouds part ways 
            Gsus4           G7 
And as the stars beam down upon us 
  C             C7     A7 
A somber shadow moves again 
  F               Fm               Cmaj7  A7 
I never want this precious time to end 
 
Chorus
              F                Fm 
And I've been thinking for sometime 
        Cmaj7          A7 
How to spend all these nine lives 
     F            Fm                 Cmaj7  C7 
I suppose I could use another one or two

Bridge
           F      Dm7  G7 
And in the moon's pale gaze 
         Cmaj7     A7 
I ponder all those days 
         Dm7 
I spent alone 
G7     Cmaj7  C7 
 Mmmmmm 
             Dm7    G7 
But now it's me and you 
            Cmaj7                 A7 
And there's nothing that we can't do 
        F                                           G7 
And now you are around, we'll catch all the mice in town 
 
Verse 5
          Cmaj7 
And as we lay in the warm sunrise 
         G7 
Becoming freshly baked sunshine pies 
             Dm7        G7 
I'll purr as sweet as a choir of angels 
    C             C7    A7 
And louder than a symphony 
       F                Fm         Cmaj7  A7 
Cause' there's no place I'd rather be 
 
Chorus
              F                Fm 
And I've been thinking for sometime

How to spend all these nine lives 
    F              Fm           Cmaj7  C7  A7 
But maybe I could spend them on you 
 
Outro
F             Fm      Cmaj7  A7 
Oh, just maybe one or two 
  F                  Fm           Cmaj7 
I think I'd like to spend them on you
