Dm                      C
And I guess that's control
F                Gm
Forgetting your name
Dm                      C
And I guess that's control
     F            Gm
Is knowing your place

Let's watch the earth fall apart
That beautiful decay
Bring your words and bring your art
All of these words we say

Chorus:
A#                      Gm
Let's put something magical
     Dm          C
So special in a day
A#                     Gm
And I guess that's control
       Dm              C
It is forgetting your name

I am not organic, no
I was hardwired this way
Perfect sound doesn't cut it, no
So don't ask me to change

Hard bright light mechanical
Together on an empty stage
Bring your life and bring your hope
Your thoughts and all of your brain

Chorus

A#                     Gm                          Dm
And I guess that's control (And I guess that's control)
                       C                           A#
And I guess that's control (And I guess that's control)
                       Gm                          Dm  C
And I guess that's control (And I guess that's control)
