Intro:
Fmaj7G6 x4
Fmaj7G6
I tried to control my shaking
Fmaj7G6
With just one sigh
Fmaj7G6
I tried to warm the ocean
AmFmaj7G6
By riding it down
Fmaj7G6
I tried to tame my nightmares
Fmaj7G6
Line by line
Fmaj7G6
For I had a song about you
AmFmaj7G6
Then make you mine
AmAm/BAm/CDmG
The conductor caught in slow-motion
AmAm/BAm/CDmG
The orchestra plays on
AmAm/BAm/CDmG
Over and over the same motion
AmAm/BAm/CDmG
This work is never done
CmAb
The only thing that's certain
EbBb
Is your indecision
DbAb
I guess it must be working
CmEbBb
Cause you hit me with such precision
CmAb
Now the strings are breaking
EbBb
Your fingers run with blood
DbAb
But they keep on playing
CmEbBb
The cycle never stops
Fmaj7G6
Who's in control?
Fmaj7G6
Who's playing who?
Fmaj7G6
She wants to be a monster
Fmaj7G6
Conducting them too
Fmaj7G6
She knows the song won't save her
AmFmaj7G6
But what else can she do
Fmaj7G6
She weeps just like a willow
Fmaj7G6
And she's playing for you
Fmaj7G6
She's fragile and she's ferocious
AmFmaj7G6
As the current flows through
AmAm/BAm/CDmG
She's a conductor caught in slow-motion
AmAm/BAm/CDmG
The orchestra plays on
AmAm/BAm/CDmG
Over and over the same motion
Fmaj7G6
This work is never done
CmAb
Now here comes the crescendo
EbBb
The music starts to sway
DbAb
And now it's so ecstatic
CmEbBb
I know this part so well
CmAb
And then it goes staccato
EbBb
The notes were flying on
DbAb
Higher and higher
CmEbBb
But they never reach the top
Fmaj7G6
Who's in control?
Fmaj7G6
Who's playing who?
Fmaj7G6
Who's in control?
Fmaj7G6
Who's playing who?
Fmaj7G6
I am the orchestra
Fmaj7G6
Conductor too
Fmaj7G6
My heart is a concert hall
AmFmaj7G6
And I filled it with you
