ELike Germany in ’43 everyone was down on me
BAnd things were closing in
EMy ideals, all my dreams, breaking out at the seams
BWithout discipline
ANo one wanted to believe me
AI was up against a wall
EWhen she came marching in to save me
ELike a guardian general
CShe had it Dworked out to an Eart
And now Cshe’s in Dcommand of my Eheart
ELeather boots, thin black tie, monocle in one eye
BShe’s so military
EWell I was broken, I was dirty, but she promised not to hurt me
BSuch humanity
ANo one ever understood me
AI had visions, I had plans
EShe mapped out the way it could be
EOffered me her stiff right hand
CShe had it Dworked out to an Eart
CAnd now she’s in Dcommand of my Eheart
EShe gives the orders, she’s got taste, she puts everything in place
BWith such authority
EShe tells me why, she shows me how, there’s not a thing to stop me now
BI’ve got validity
AAll the times I’ve had to bow out
AAll the chances that I’ve missed
EBut I’ve got re-enforcements now
EIt is useless to resist
CShe had it Dworked out to an Eart
And now Cshe’s in Dcommand of my Eheart
CShe had it Dworked out to an Eart
And now Cshe’s in Dcommand of my Eheart
CShe's in Dcommand of my Eheart
CYeah she's in Dcommand of my Eheart

Like Germany in ’43 everyone was down on me

And things were closing in

My ideals, all my dreams, breaking out at the seams

Without discipline

No one wanted to believe me

I was up against a wall

When she came marching in to save me

Like a guardian general

C D E

She had it worked out to an art

C D E

And now she’s in command of my heart

Leather boots, thin black tie, monocle in one eye

She’s so military

Well I was broken, I was dirty, but she promised not to hurt me

Such humanity

No one ever understood me

I had visions, I had plans

She mapped out the way it could be

Offered me her stiff right hand

C D E

She had it worked out to an art

C D E

And now she’s in command of my heart

She gives the orders, she’s got taste, she puts everything in place

With such authority

She tells me why, she shows me how, there’s not a thing to stop me now

I’ve got validity

All the times I’ve had to bow out

All the chances that I’ve missed

But I’ve got re-enforcements now

It is useless to resist

C D E

She had it worked out to an art

C D E

And now she’s in command of my heart

C D E

She had it worked out to an art

C D E

And now she’s in command of my heart

C D E

She's in command of my heart

C D E

Yeah she's in command of my heart
