Capo I


Verse 1:
       FF      C majorC       G+G
Everything's alone, it's just the way I left
       FF      C majorC        G+G
I can't even trace where this other life began
         FF    C majorC
Driving down the same old street,
       G+G     D MajorD
Sometimes I forget to breathe,
          FF    C majorC       G+G
But you won't ever hear me sing this one again

        FF A minorAm       G+G
Far back in my memory I hear your words,
            FF    A minorAm      G+G
But somehow someone's poisoned me and now they're cursed
         FF  A minorAm
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
        G+G   D MajorD
I would never let you go
         FF    A minorAm     G+G
The only way it'd work is if I were provoked

Chorus:
A minorAm G+G   C majorC   FF
Uuh, you had control
A minorAm G+G   C majorC  FF
Uuh, so long ago


Verse 2:
          FF    A minorAm         G+G
As hard as you can try this heart of mine won't break,
            FF
Go ahead and knock me down,
    A minorAm      G+G
There's so much I can take
         FF    A minorAm
I know that you wish me well,
          G+G   D MajorD
But darling I can never tell
            FF    A minorAm        G+G
It's tricky when your love is just some cry for help

Chorus:
A minorAm G+G   C majorC   FF
Uuh, you had control
A minorAm G+G   C majorC  FF
Uuh, so long ago
A minorAm G+G   C majorC   FF
Uuh, you had control
A minorAm G+G   C majorC  FF
Uuh, so long ago


Bridge:
A minorAm  G+G   C majorC      FF
 Our pieces lingering in my head
A minorAm      G+G       C majorC          FF
 Like rotten leaves, you're choking me with the stench
A minorAm     G+G   C majorC          FF
 And now I see so far down this road ahead,
A minorAm      G+G    C majorC        FF
 It doesn't mean whatever the hell we said.


Verse 3:
         FF    A minorAm        G+G
Rain is falling here on this other side of town
          FF     A minorAm      G+G
I'm sure that it's clear wherever you are right now
        FF    A minorAm         G+G    D MajorD
Say you don't believe in me, just so I can finally leave
            FF      A minorAm     G+G
'Cause you're the only thing that's keeping me around


Chorus:
A minorAm G+G   C majorC   FF
Uuh, you had control
A minorAm G+G   C majorC  FF
Uuh, so long ago
A minorAm G+G   C majorC   FF
Uuh, you had control
A minorAm G+G   C majorC  FF
Uuh, so long ago
