Control chords by Kevin Garrett

*Notes: During the chorus, only one strum each for C and F.
Not too sure about the chords for the bridge.

Capo I



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

               F  Am             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    Am
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
               G      D
I would never let you go
                  F       Am         G
The only way it'd work is if I were provoked



Chorus:
Am G      C     F
Uuh,  you had control
Am G      C    F
Uuh,  so long ago



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



Chorus:
Am G      C     F
Uuh,  you had control
Am G      C    F
Uuh,  so long ago
Am G      C     F
Uuh,  you had control
Am G      C    F
Uuh,  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:
                 F       Am                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        Am                 G       D
Say you don't believe in me, just so I can finally leave
                        F            Am         G
'Cause you're the only thing that's keeping me around



Chorus:
Am G      C     F
Uuh,  you had control
Am G      C    F
Uuh,  so long ago
Am G      C     F
Uuh,  you had control
Am G      C    F
Uuh,  so long ago
