      You're going to roll right over this one.

        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

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,
