Control chords by Kieran T

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
G                                   D/F#
The whole house was fast asleep and dreaming
     Em                                Cadd9
They never knew that you were breaking in
    G                                D/F#
You hope the truth would never truly wake them
       Em                                     Cadd9
So you spike their dreams with lies and shiny things

Pre-Chorus:
Cadd9               D/F#
News flashes by, to re enforce the lie
            Em                          G
That you’re only there to keep them all safe
Cadd9           D/F#
Empty promises, whispers in the wind
    Em                                G
You played them til they’re no longer sane

    Cadd9                D/F#
The television glows, a punch and judy show
        Em
They’ve woken just in time to see

Chorus:
                  Cadd9       D/F#
That you would do anything to hold
Em                G
Onto your grip of control
                  Cadd9       D/F#
That you would do anything to keep
Em                           G
Their fooled by you lies and deceit
                       Cadd9
And they won’t let you go
                 D/F#       Em
Now that they’ve found your key
                       Cadd9
And they won’t let you go
             D/F#      Em
Now that the blind can see

Verse 2:
G                           D/F#
Some of them alway left the light on
Em                                   Cadd9
Watched you creeping up and down the halls
G                                       D/F#
They warned of creatures lurking in the closet
Em                                  Cadd9
But no one ever listened to them at all

Pre-Chorus:
Cadd9               D/F#
News flashes by, to re enforce the lie
            Em                          G
That you’re only there to keep them all safe
Cadd9           D/F#
Empty promises, whispers in the wind
    Em                                G
You played them til they’re no longer sane

    Cadd9                D/F#
The television glows, a punch and judy show
        Em
They’ve woken just in time to see

Chorus:
                  Cadd9       D/F#
That you would do anything to hold
Em                G
Onto your grip of control
                  Cadd9       D/F#
That you would do anything to keep
Em                           G
Their fooled by you lies and deceit
                       Cadd9
And they won’t let you go
                 D/F#       Em
Now that they’ve found your key
                       Cadd9
And they won’t let you go
             D/F#      Em
Now that the blind can see

Chorus:
                  Cadd9       D/F#
That you would do anything to hold
Em                G
Onto your grip of control
                  Cadd9       D/F#
That you would do anything to keep
Em                           G
Their fooled by you lies and deceit
                       Cadd9
And they won’t let you go
                 D/F#       Em
Now that they’ve found your key
                       Cadd9
And they won’t let you go
             D/F#      Em
Now that the blind can see

Outro:
                       Cadd9
And they won’t let you go
                 D/F#       Em
Now that they’ve found your key
