Chords

You can use a delay pedal for the riff but it also sounds nice to just play the notes. In the verses, there's another guitar that plays Amadd9/E over the Am and a G6/D over the G. [Chords] Amadd9/E : x 7 7 5 0 0 G6/D : x 5 5 4 3 0 Badd11 : 7 9 9 8 0 0 Aadd9 : 5 7 7 6 0 0

[Intro] Am G 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]
     A              C
You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang

Then blame, blame, blame

     A              C
You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang

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 you came to...
[Chorus]
A                C
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang

   A                 G
To blame, blame, blame

A               C
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang

     Badd11
It's not my thing, so let it go now

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
Happens on you way

              Am
Stop laying blame

     G
You know that's not my thing

 Am        G
Oooooooh

 Am
Oooooooh

    G
You know that's not my thing you came to
[Chorus]
A            C
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang

      A             G
Then blame, blame, blame

A            C
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang

     B                Bb
It's not my thing so let it go, you

A            C
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang

     A              G
Then blame, blame, blame

A            C
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang

      B               Bb
It's not my thing so let it go
[Outro] Am G
