from "Balance of Power"
[Verse]
It's out of conGtrol (out of conG/Btrol)
And there's Cnothing I can Ddo now
Out of conGtrol (out of conG/Btrol)
Swimming Csoftly through the Dblue now
And Bmlook beyond these Emwalls
As the Ammeaning Bmstarts to Cdawn
It's Dgetting to the poinEmtD  C  
Getting to the Gpoint.
[Verse]
It's out of conGtrol (nothing I can G/Bdo)
Like a Cfire that keeps on Dburning
And nobody Gknows (what I'm going G/Bthrough)
And the Cthoughts just keep reDturning
And Bmall you had to Emsay
Was that Amyou werBme gonna Cstay
It's Dgetting to the poinEmtD  C  
It's Dgetting to the Gpoint.
[Chorus]
It's Ggetting Dto the Cpoint
Where nobody can G/Bstop it now
It's Ggetting Dto the Cpoint
Of no reG/Bturn
And Gall that DI can Cdo
Is stand and Gwatch it Emnow
Watch it Amburn, Bmburn, Dburn
It's Ggetting Dto the Cpoint
Where reasons are G/Bforgotten
It's Ggetting Dto the Cpoint
Where no one G/Bknows
And Gall that DI can Cdo
Is say I'm GsorEmry
But that's the Amway Bmit Cgoes...
DGetting to the Gpoint.
