Out of Control Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Dm][Am]
[Dm][Am]

[Verse 1]
I scored [Am]some
speed in San Berdino
So me and baby could get
a little bump
And now she's in that motel room
Puttin? on a show for some chump

[Verse 2]
Yeah, well, [Dm]baby?s gotta make a livin?
And I don't mind waitin? out in the car
?Cause I got some [Am]nine millimeter muscle
In case things go too far

[Verse 3]
You know [Em]I try to take it easy, man
And [Dm]just go with [Em]the flow
But sometimes things can get a little [Dm]bit
Out [Am]of control

[Verse 4]
[Am]
Well, my old man worked his whole life
In the Kaiser steel slag pit
And I worked there for a while
back when I was a kid
But I got tired of all their shit
But [Dm]that was

[Verse 5]
years ago, man
Before they tore [Am]that Fontana [Dm]plant down
And my old [Am]man smoked himself
Into a six-foot hole hole in the ground

[Verse 6]
And [Em]I got the same bad habit
And it'll prob[Dm]ably take
its [Em]toll
But sometimes it?s the only
thing that keeps [Dm]me
From goin? [Am]out of control

[Verse 7]
[Am]
Well, my ex-wife?s workin?
workin? evenings
At a Sizzler makin? minimum wage
And she's cleanin? up other
people?s houses
Every day just like some slave

[Verse 8]
And she's [Dm]livin? with the kids
in a mobile home
Just off the 60 freeway
Some [Am]nights I go to see her

[Verse 9]
And sometimes she lets me stay
[Em]Since she found Jesus
She's [Dm]always tryin?
to save my soul
Yeah, [Em]but every now and then
she still likes to [Dm]get

[Interlude 1]
A little out of control
[Am]
[Dm]
[Am]
[Em][Dm][Em][Dm][Am]

[Verse 10]
I used [Am]to work a little construction
But I never got along with my boss
So I do a little import export
Makin? enough just to cover my costs

[Verse 11]
And I'm [Dm]losin? my hair and
I'm losin? my teeth
But I'm tryin? to keep my grip
[Am]And live to see one more day
Without makin? any stupid slips

[Verse 12]
You know [Em]I could
have played the game man
And just [Dm]done what I was [Em]told
But I guess I was born just a little [Dm]bit
Out [Am]of control

[Verse 13]
Baby [Am]gets done in there, I'm gonna
Take her for a little ride
Cruise up into the mountains
Park the car and get a little high
[Dm]?Cause

[Verse 14]
baby likes to look
at the shootin? stars
And make wishes as they fly by
And I [Am]like lookin? down at the city
From way up there in the sky

[Verse 15]
Then [Em]I pull baby close to me
When it [Dm]starts gettin? [Em]cold
Close my eyes for a little
while and let [Dm]the world
Spin out of [Am]control

[Outro 1]
[Dm][Am][Dm][Am]
[Em]
[Dm][Em][Dm]
[Am]
