Capo 1st Fret:
[Verse 1]
C F G
Everything's alone, it's just the way I left
F Am G
I can't even trace where this other life began
F C
Driving down the same old street,
Am D7
Sometimes I forget to breathe,
C F G
but you won't ever hear me sing this one again
C F G
Far back in my memory I hear your words,
F Am G
but somehow someone's poisoned me and now they're cursed
F C
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Am D7
I would never let you go
C F G
The only way it'd work is if I were provoked
[Chorus]
Am C
Ooooooooo, you had CONTROL
Am C F
Ooooooooo, so long ago
[Verse 2]
C F G
As hard as you can try this heart of mine won't break,
F Am G
Go ‘head and knock me down, There's so much I can take
F C
I know that you wish me well,
Am D7
but darling I can never tell
C F G
It's tricky when your love is just some cry for help
[Chorus]
Am C
Ooooooooo, you had CONTROL
Am C F
Ooooooooo, so long ago
Am C
Ooooooooo, you had CONTROL
Am C F
Ooooooooo, so long ago
[Bridge]
Am G C F
Our pieces lingering in my head
Am G C F
Like rotten leaves, you're choking me with the stench
Am G C F
And now I see so far down this road ahead,
Am G C F
It doesn't mean whatever the hell we said.
[Verse 3]
C F G
Rain is falling here on this other side of town
F Am G
I'm sure that it's clear wherever you are right now
F C
Say you don't believe in me,
Am D7
Just so I can finally leave
C F G
'Cause you're the only thing that's keeping me around
[Chorus]
Am C
Ooooooooo, you had CONTROL
Am C F
Ooooooooo, so long ago
Am C
Ooooooooo, you had CONTROL
Am C F
Ooooooooo, so long ago
