I know, she said...
D7 (*) G
before you left me you were free
C9 D
So I'll just lay me down
Fill: Asus4 A7
D Dmaj7
Control has left me
D7 (*)
And I can't feel another thing
G
So let me turn around
Fill: Asus4 A7
G A7 D
Do you really want to play these games
Just to keep things goin'
G A7 D
Or are you ready now to let it be
Em7 Gm7
It's like sometimes you wanna see the rain
Bm
But the sun gets in your eyes
Bm A G Asus4 A7
And you wanna die now
Rest of the song follows the same chord progression
Control has left me
And I can't feel another thing
So let me turn around
I see I see
But things just couldn't be the same
SO let me hold you down
Never let me down I swore to you
But now I lie
I'm here to make it all seem worthwhile
You want I know
But I'll have to try
To find a way to make me quiet now
Control has left me
And I can't feel another thing
So let me turn around
I see I see
But things just couldn't be the same
So won't you hunt her down
I know she said
Before you left me you were free
So I'll just lay me down.
