[Verse 1]
G F C/G
I almost saw a train wreck
G F Am
Then I had to look away
G F C/G
Never had I wondered before
G F C/G
What happened when metal bent and tore
G F C/G
I ran across manhole covers
G F Am
Toward the center of my Earth
G F . C/G
Valleys and other landmarks
G F C/G
Visions of big machines transformed
[Chorus]
C/G C/G G F
C/G C/G C/G C/G
[Verse 2]
G F C/G
Walking around in St. Matthews
G F Am
The winds were light and the roads were wet
G F C/G
Those green sloping mountains over
G F C/G
Leading up to gravel beds
G F C/G
My brother Paul was walking aimless
G F Am
My father Pete had turned away
G F C/G
Paul stumbled toward a roaring train track
G F C/G
He was only four years old that day
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
G F C/G
I barely saw it happen
G F Am
The grounds monumental shake
G F C/G
There must have been two feet between them
G F C/G
Before those two hands snatched him safe
G F C/G
As we headed home to beat the sunset
G F Am
I heard him crying overhead
G F C/G
That night I dreamt we turned the lights out
G F C/G
And wandered far away from this
[Chorus]
C/G C/G G F

Am D
Who's in control?
Am G
Yeah, who's in control?
F C/G
[Outro]
G F C/G
Now I'm sitting on a bridge
G F Am
Out in Portland, Oregon
G F C/G
The old day begins to shudder
G F C/G
And rolling on, becomes another
[Outro]
C/G C/G G F
