 INTRO (verse)
                G               G/B  
 It's out of control (out of control)
             C             D     
 And there's nothing I can do now
           G               G/B  
 Out of control (out of control)
          C                  D       
 Swimming softly through the blue now
     Bm                Em   
 And look beyond these walls
        Am      G/B       C   
 As the meaning starts to dawn

 VERSE
                G                   G/B 
 It's out of control (nothing I can do)
        C                  D      
 Like a fire that keeps on burning
            G                     G/B     
 And nobody knows (what I'm going through)
         C                    D      
 And the thoughts just keep returning
     Bm             Em 
 And all you had to say
          Am     G/B     Cmaj7 
 Was that you were gonna stay
