Intro:
FG x4
FG
I tried to control my shaking
FG
With just one sigh
FG
I tried to warm the ocean
AmFG
By riding it down
FG
I tried to tame my nightmares
FG
Line by line
FG
For I had a song about you
AmFG
Then make you mine
AmAmAmDmG
The conductor caught in slow-motion
AmAmAmDmG
The orchestra plays on
AmAmAmDmG
Over and over the same motion
AmAmAmDmG
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
FG
Who's in control?
FG
Who's playing who?
FG
She wants to be a monster
FG
Conducting them too
FG
She knows the song won't save her
AmFG
But what else can she do
FG
She weeps just like a willow
FG
And she's playing for you
FG
She's fragile and she's ferocious
AmFG
As the current flows through
AmAmAmDmG
She's a conductor caught in slow-motion
AmAmAmDmG
The orchestra plays on
AmAmAmDmG
Over and over the same motion
FG
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
FG
Who's in control?
FG
Who's playing who?
FG
Who's in control?
FG
Who's playing who?
FG
I am the orchestra
FG
Conductor too
FG
My heart is a concert hall
AmFG
And I filled it with you
