Ratboys - Control

      [Verse 1]
Ab       Gb               Db
I almost saw a train wreck
Ab            Gb       Dbm
Then I had to look away
Ab          Gb             Db
Never had I wondered before
Ab                 Gb                 Db
What happened when metal bent and tore
Ab           Gb           Db
I ran across manhole covers
Ab          Gb               Dbm
Toward the center of my Earth
Ab          Gb .           Db
Valleys and other landmarks
A          Gb                      Db
Visions of big machines transformed

Bbm Ab Gb Db

[Verse 2]
Ab             Gb             Db
Walking around in St. Matthews
Ab                           Gb            Bbm
The winds were light and the roads were wet
Ab                  Gb            Db
Those green sloping mountains over
Ab            Gb         Db
Leading up to gravel beds
   Ab               Gb             Db
My brother Paul was walking aimless
   Ab              Gb         Bbm
My father Pete had turned away
     Ab                Gb                 Db
Paul stumbled toward a roaring train track
Ab                     Gb          Db
He was only four years old that day

Bbm Ab Gb Db

[Chorus]
Bbm              Eb
Who's in control?
Bbm              Abm
Who's in control?

[Bridge]
Ab       Gb           Db
I barely saw it happen
    Ab          Ebm         Bb
The ground€™s monumental shake
      Ab                 Gb               Db
There must have been two feet between them
  Ab                   Gb               Db
Before those two hands snatched him safe
      Ab             Gb             Db
As we headed home to beat the sunset
  Ab               Gb      Bbm
I heard him crying overhead
     Ab                Gb                   Db
That night I dreamt we turned the lights out
    Ab           Gb            Db
And wandered far away from this

Bbm Ab Gb Db

[Chorus]
Bbm              Eb
Who's in control?
Bbm               Ab
Yeah, who's in control?


[Outro]
Ab      Gb                 Db
Now I'm sitting on a bridge
Ab     Gb              Bbm
Out in Portland, Oregon
Ab          Gb               Db
The old day begins to shudder
Ab              Gb             Db
And rolling on, becomes another

Gb Db
