I Can't Control Myself
View chords used in this chart
F A# G#
Across the pathless sands
A# F
Through jungle, blind I run
A# G#
No guide taken in hand
A# F
And no idea where to turn
A# G#
No sanctuary found
A# F
I tear myself in two
A# G#
I pray for scarlet fields to save me
A# G
Whole and white and pure
F
I can't control myself
G
Lend one of your hands 'cause I
F
I can't control myself
A# G#
I dream of lost desires
A# F
Fingers run through fur
A# G#
I drive myself insane
A# F
The rain cascades onto the dirt
A# G#
And in the throes of love
A# F
Where the shadows burst in flames
A# G#
I cast myself abandoned
A# G
With a cry I call your name
F
I can't control myself
G
Lend one of your hands 'cause I
F
I can't control myself
Solo
F
I can't control myself
G
Lend one of your hands 'cause I
F
I can't control myself
G
Or hold myself in though I try
F
I can't control myself
G
Deliver me from the fire
F
I can't control myself
