CD SCENC - Little Boots
F
It's always something small in the beginning
D
Just a careless thought said without thinking
Bb F
That makes the chain react and there's no taking back Oh
F
Soon we're drawing swords and making circles
D
Tiptoeing round the thing that really hurts most
Bb F
Too stubbon to stand down too proud to turn around, Oh
F
Caught in a Crescendo Crescendo Crescendo
D
And none of us can let go let go let go
Bb F
It's out of our control control control and I can't stand the noise
F
You look me in the eye I keep on staring
D
Straight ahead like I'm not even caring
Bb F
But we both know this game it's all a masquerade
F
Oh oh
F
And I know later on we'll both regret it
F
But while the moment's here we can't forget it
Bb F
Before we know we're stuck turn our emotions up
Oh oh
F
Caught in a Crescendo Crescendo Crescendo
D
And none of us can let go let go let go
Bb F
It's out of our control control control and I can't stand the noise
F D Bb F
F
Can we stop and talk it over
D
Instead of talking over ourselves
Bb
Can we stop and talk it over
F
Over over over
F
We keep getting louder
D
We keep getting louder
Bb
We keep getting louder
F
And I can't stand the noise
F
Caught in a Crescendo Crescendo Crescendo
D
And none of us can let go let go let go
Bb F
It's out of our control control control and I can't stand the noise
