               G               G/B
It's out of control (out of control)

            C             D
And there's nothing I can do now

          G               G/B
Out of control (out of control)

         C                  D
Swimming softly through the blue now

    Bm                Em
And look beyond these walls

       Am      Bm        C
As the meaning starts to dawn

     D                  Em D C
It's getting to the point

               G
Getting to the point.
[Verse]
               G                   G/B
It's out of control (nothing I can do)

       C                  D
Like a fire that keeps on burning

           G                     G/B
And nobody knows (what I'm going through)

        C                    D
And the thoughts just keep returning

    Bm             Em
And all you had to say

         Am     Bm      C
Was that you were gonna stay

     D                  Em D C
It's getting to the point

     D              G
It's getting to the point.
[Chorus]
     G       D      C
It's getting to the point

                 G/B
Where nobody can stop it now

     G       D      C
It's getting to the point

        G/B  
Of no return

    G        D     C
And all that I can do

             G        Em
Is stand and watch it now

         Am    Bm    D
Watch it burn, burn, burn

     G       D      C
It's getting to the point

                  G/B
Where reasons are forgotten

     G       D      C
It's getting to the point

             G/B
Where no one knows

    G        D     C
And all that I can do

           G  Em
Is say I'm sorry

               Am  Bm C
But that's the way it goes...

D              G
Getting to the point.
[Verse]
   G       G/B
Forever

      C          D
Is a long, long way

   G      G/B
Forever

             C      D            
Takes your breath away

     Bm7           Em             Am Bm  C
I'd like to talk about it, try to understand

     D                  Em D C
It's getting to the point

     D              G
It's getting to the point.

It's getting to the point

        G/B  
Of no return

    G        D     C
And all that I can do

             G        Em
Is stand and watch it now

         Am    Bm    D
Watch it burn, burn, burn

It's getting to the point

Where reasons are forgotten

It's getting to the point

             G/B 
Where no one knows
