[Amadd2] If you could see yourself now, baby

[Amadd2] If you could see yourself now baby, [G6] the tables have turned.
the whole world hin[Amadd2]ges on your swings.
your [G6]secret life of indiscreet discr[Amadd2]etions.
I'd turn the screw [G6] and leave the screen. Don't point your fin[Amadd2]ger.
You [G6]know that's not my thing. You came to
[A]bang, bang, bang, [C] bang, bang then [A]blame, blame, blame.[G]
[A]You bang, bang, bang, [C] bang, bang. It's [Badd4] not my thing so let it go now.
