Amadd2 
        If you could see yourself now, baby 
G6                                      Amadd2 
      it's not my fault.  You used to be      so in control. 
G6 
      You're going to roll right over this one. 
              G6 
Just roll me over, let me go.  You're laying blame. 
Amadd2 
        Take this as no, no, no, no, no. 
    A                 C                   A                    G 
You bang, bang, bang,    bang, bang  then blame, blame, blame. 
A                     C                    B                 Bb         A   G6 
You bang, bang, bang,    bang, bang.  It's   not my thing so let it go. 
Amadd2                                      G6 
        If you could see yourself now baby,     the tables have turned. 
                   Amadd2 
the whole world hinges    on your swings. 
     G6                             Amadd2 
your secret life of indiscreet discretions. 
                   G6                                            Amadd2 
I'd turn the screw    and leave the screen.  Don't point your finger. 
    G6 
You know that's not my thing.  You came to 
A                 C                   A                    G 
bang, bang, bang,    bang, bang  then blame, blame, blame. 
A                     C                    Badd4 
You bang, bang, bang,    bang, bang.  It's   not my thing so let it go now.

{Gtr2 (Clean tone)}: 
Am                          G5 
You've got a little worry.      I know it all too well. 
Am                             G5 
I've got your number,   but so    does every kiss-and-tell 
    Amadd2                            G6 
who dares to cross your threshold, or happens on your way, 
                   Amadd2          G6 
Stop laying blame.            You know that's not my thing. 
Amadd2              G6          Amadd2 
(Ooh.)_______________           (Ooh.)_______________ 
     G6 
You know that's not my thing. 
            A                 C                   A                        G 
You came to bang, bang, bang,    bang, bang, then blame, blame, blame. 
A                    C                    B                 Bb 
   Bang, bang, bang,    bang, bang.  It's   not my thing so let it go. 
    A                 C                   A                        G

   Bang, bang, bang,    bang, bang.  It's   not my thing so let it go. 
A       G6 
    Amadd2                 G6 
You kiss on me, tug on me, rub on me, jump on me, 
    Amadd2                  G6 
You bang on me, beat on me, hit on me, let go on me, 
Amadd2               G6
