Intro:
Fmaj7 G6 x4
Fmaj7 G6
I tried to control my shaking
Fmaj7 G6
With just one sigh
Fmaj7 G6
I tried to warm the ocean
Am Fmaj7 G6
By riding it down
Fmaj7 G6
I tried to tame my nightmares
Fmaj7 G6
Line by line
Fmaj7 G6
For I had a song about you
Am Fmaj7 G6
Then make you mine
Am Am/B Am/C Dm G
The conductor caught in slow-motion
Am Am/B Am/C Dm G
The orchestra plays on
Am Am/B Am/C Dm G
Over and over the same motion
Am Am/B Am/C Dm G
This work is never done
Cm G#
The only thing that's certain
D# A#
Is your indecision
C# G#
I guess it must be working
Cm D# A#
Cause you hit me with such precision
Cm G#
Now the strings are breaking
D# A#
Your fingers run with blood
C# G#
But they keep on playing
Cm D# A#
The cycle never stops
Fmaj7 G6
Who's in control?
Fmaj7 G6
Who's playing who?
Fmaj7 G6
She wants to be a monster
Fmaj7 G6
Conducting them too
Fmaj7 G6
She knows the song won't save her
Am Fmaj7 G6
But what else can she do
Fmaj7 G6
She weeps just like a willow
Fmaj7 G6
And she's playing for you
Fmaj7 G6
She's fragile and she's ferocious
Am Fmaj7 G6
As the current flows through
Am Am/B Am/C Dm G
She's a conductor caught in slow-motion
Am Am/B Am/C Dm G
The orchestra plays on
Am Am/B Am/C Dm G
Over and over the same motion
Fmaj7 G6
This work is never done
Cm G#
Now here comes the crescendo
D# A#
The music starts to sway
C# G#
And now it's so ecstatic
Cm D# A#
I know this part so well
Cm G#
And then it goes staccato
D# A#
The notes were flying on
C# G#
Higher and higher
Cm D# A#
But they never reach the top
Fmaj7 G6
Who's in control?
Fmaj7 G6
Who's playing who?
Fmaj7 G6
Who's in control?
Fmaj7 G6
Who's playing who?
Fmaj7 G6
I am the orchestra
Fmaj7 G6
Conductor too
Fmaj7 G6
My heart is a concert hall
Am Fmaj7 G6
And I filled it with you
