*Notes: During the chorus, only one strum each for C and F. Not too sure about the chords for the bridge.
Capo I
[Verse 1]
F C G
Everything's alone, it's just the way I left
F C G
I can't even trace where this other life began
F C
Driving down the same old street,
G D
Sometimes I forget to breathe,
F C G
But you won't ever hear me sing this one again
F Am G
Far back in my memory I hear your words,
F Am G
But somehow someone's poisoned me and now they're cursed
F Am
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
G D
I would never let you go
F Am G
The only way it'd work is if I were provoked
[Chorus]
Am G C F
Uuh, you had control
Am G C F
Uuh, so long ago
[Verse 2]
F Am G
As hard as you can try this heart of mine won't break,
F
Go ahead and knock me down,
Am G
There's so much I can take
F Am
I know that you wish me well,
G D
But darling I can never tell
F Am G
It's tricky when your love is just some cry for help
[Chorus]
Am G C F
Uuh, you had control
Am G C F
Uuh, so long ago
Am G C F
Uuh, you had control
Am G C F
Uuh, so long ago
[Bridge]
Am G C F
Our pieces lingering in my head
Am G C F
Like rotten leaves, you're choking me with the stench
Am G C F
And now I see so far down this road ahead,
Am G C F
It doesn't mean whatever the hell we said.
[Verse 3]
F Am G
Rain is falling here on this other side of town
F Am G
I'm sure that it's clear wherever you are right now
F Am G D
Say you don't believe in me, just so I can finally leave
F Am G
'Cause you're the only thing that's keeping me around
[Chorus]
Am G C F
Uuh, you had control
Am G C F
Uuh, so long ago
Am G C F
Uuh, you had control
Am G C F
Uuh, so long ago
