[Verse 1]
E
  If you're free tomorrow,
 don't make any plans
 (don't make any plans)
E
  We can go to Sylvan
Park and kick over
trash cans
E
  Love is all around me,
everywhere I turn
E
  Is that the smell of
 fall or the city burned?

[Chorus 1]
          E
There's a mustang
in the city

And it's callin'
me out
          C#m
Are you a mustang
or a kitty?
What are you all
about?

[Verse 2]
E
  There's a golden globe
in my office space
E
  A muscle magazine
next to the toilet
C#m
    I'm getting big and
       A
 strong just thinking
         E
about it (uh-uh)
C#m
    And I can feel the
 B                 A
 heat of the water rise

[Chorus 2]
              E
Oh, there's a mustang
 in the city

And it's callin' me out
          C#m
Are you a mustang
 or a kitty?
What are you
all about?

[Verse 3]
E
  I saw 'em operating
on a kid downstairs
E
  I could not be bothered
to pretend to care
E
  I like to watch you eat
 in front of the camera
C#m
    And there's a misty
 B               A
 mornin' in your eye

[Chorus 3]
              E
Oh, there's a mustang
 in the city

And it's callin' me out
          C#m
Are you a mustang
or a kitty?
What are you all about?
            E
It's just a mistake
 and a pity
It's drownin' the crowd
          C#m
Are you a mustang
or a kitty?
A mustang or a kitty?

[Bridge]
E    C#m
         There was somethin'
  B                 A
 amiss in your apology

[Chorus 4]
              E
Oh, there's a mustang
in the city

And it's callin' me out
          C#m
Are you a mustang
or a kitty?
What are you all about?
       E
It's a mistake
and a pity
Dragging me down
      C#m
You a mustang or a kitty?
A mustang or a kitty?
