Bm       Em  Bm
Goodbye desperado
Bm
If they hadn't sucked out all
                      Em                    Bm
the poison from your veins you'd be dead by now
Bm         Em   Bm
Too late frida kahlo
Bm
You could have the power of
                     Em                    Bm
the phoenix and the flame if you knew just how

Chorus:
D
Come the hour
F#
Come the mantra
  Bm         A             G
Repeat in defeat with the pots and the pans
D
Walk away
F#
Walk on water
        Bm
They're young then they're
A              G
old then they don't give a damn

D
Yeah but you
You're out of control
Your babies are changing
You're out of control

Sleepless situation
Shaken by the clatter of
the clinking on the bars of your private jail
Twisted ultimatum
Searching for a lifeline or
a band aid for your sins in the morning mail

Chorus:
Tow the line
Floating islands
They're here and they're now
but they're oceans away
Tie them down
Baby lions
You'll bleed and you'll plead
and you'll beg them to stay
Yeah but you
You're out of control
Your babies are changing
You're out of control

Don't be afraid now
Your cover is blown
Don't shed a tear now
Your babies are grown
