F          A#       G# 
Across the pathless sands 
               A#       F 
Through jungle, blind I run 
         A#       G# 
No guide taken in hand 
       A#            F 
And no idea where to turn 
        A#   G# 
No sanctuary found 
       A#        F 
I tear myself in two 
           A#      G# 
I pray for scarlet fields to save me 
          A#        G  
Whole and white and pure 

                F 
I can't control myself 
                              G 
Lend one of your hands 'cause I 
                F 
I can't control myself 

           A#   G# 
I dream of lost desires 
        A#          F             
Fingers run through fur 
        A#     G# 
I drive myself insane 
                  A#       F 
The rain cascades onto the dirt 

           A#        G# 
And in the throes of love 
                  A#       F 
Where the shadows burst in flames 
         A#    G# 
I cast myself abandoned 
             A#        G 
With a cry I call your name 

                F 
I can't control myself 
                              G 
Lend one of your hands 'cause I 
                F 
I can't control myself 
                
Solo  
                F 
I can't control myself 
                              G 
Lend one of your hands 'cause I 
                F 
I can't control myself 
                           G 
Or hold myself in though I try 
                F 
I can't control myself 
                    G  
Deliver me from the fire 
                F 
I can't control myself
