INTRO
Am G
VERSE 1
Am
If you could see yourself now, baby,
G Am
It's not my fault, you used to be so in control.
G Am
You're going to roll right over this one.
G
Just roll me over, let me go,
Am
You're laying blame.
G
Take this as no, no, no, no, no.
CHORUS
Am C
You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,
Am C
Then blame, blame, blame,
Am C
You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,
B Bb
It's not my thing so let it go.
Am G
VERSE 2
Am
If you could see yourself now, baby,
G Am
The tables have turned, the whole world hinges on your swings,
G Am
Your secret life of indiscreet discretions.
G
I'd turn the screw and leave the screen,
Am
Don't point your finger,
G
You know that's not my thing.
CHORUS
Am C
You came to bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,
Am C
Then blame, blame, blame,
Am C
You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,
B Bb
It's not my thing so let it go.
Am G
VERSE 3
Am
You've got a little worry,
G
I know it all too well.
Am
I've got your number --
G
But so does every kiss and tell
Am
Who dares to cross your threshold,
G
Or happens on you way,
Am
Stop laying blame.
G
You know that's not my thing.
Am G
Whoo whoo
Am
Whoo
G
You know that's not my thing.
CHORUS 3
Am C
You came to bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,
Am C
Then blame, blame, blame,
Am C
You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,
B Bb
It's not my thing so let it go.
Am C
You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,
Am C
Then blame, blame, blame,
Am C
You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,
B Bb
It's not my thing so let it go.
Am G
OUTRO

You kiss on me,
Tug on me,

Rub on me,
Jump on me.

You bang on me,
Beat on me,

Hit on me,
Let go on me.
Am
Whoooooooooo
G
You let go on me.
Am G
Whoooooooooo
Am G repeat and fade and that's that
