Getting to the Point Electric Light Orchestra
INTRO (verse)
It's out of con[G]trol (out of con[G/B]trol)
And there's [C]nothing I can [D]do now
Out of con[G]trol (out of con[G/B]trol)
Swimming [C]softly through the [D]blue now
And [Bm]look beyond these [Em]walls
As the [Am]meaning [G/B]starts to [C]dawn
D | Em D | [ Cmaj7 ]
It's getting to the point (Getting to the point)

VERSE
It's out of con[G]trol (nothing I can [G/B]do)
Like a [C]fire that keeps on [D]burning
And nobody [G]knows (what I'm going [G/B]through)
And the [C]thoughts just keep re[D]turning
And [Bm]all you had to [Em]say
Was that [Am]you wer[G/B]e gonna [Cmaj7]stay

[G]It's [G]ge[D]tting [D]to [C]the [C]point
Where nobody can [G/B]stop it now
[G]It's [G]ge[D]tting [D]to [C]the [C]point
Of no re[G/B]turn
[G]And [G]all [D]that [D]I [C]can [C]do
Is stand and [G/B]watch it [Em]now
Watch it [Am]burn, [G/B]burn, [D]burn
[G]It's [G]ge[D]tting [D]to [C]the [C]point
Where reasons are [G/B]forgotten
[G]It's [G]ge[D]tting [D]to [C]the [C]point
Where no one [G/B]knows
[G]And [G]all [D]that [D]I [C]can [C]do
Is say I'm [G/B]sor-[Em]ry
But that's the [Am]way [G/B]it [Cmaj7]goes ...
