 It's out of control  (out of control)
 And there's nothing  I can do  now
 Out of control  (out of control)
 Swimming softly  through the blue  now
 And look  beyond these walls
 As the meaning starts  to dawn
   (Em--C)
 It's getting to the point
 Getting to the point.
 It's out of control  (nothing I can do)
 Like a fire  that keeps on burning
 And nobody knows  (what I'm going through)
 And the thoughts  just keep returning
 And all  you had to say
 Was that you  were  gonna stay
   (Em--C)
 It's getting to the point
 It's getting  to the point.
 It's getting to  the point
 Where nobody can stop  it now
 It's getting to  the point
 Of no return
 And all  that I  can do
 Is stand and watch  it now
 Watch it burn, burn, burn
 It's getting to  the point
 Where reasons are forgotten
 It's getting to  the point
 Where no one knows
 And all  that I  can do
 Is say I'm sorry
 But that's the way it goes...
Getting  to the point.
 Forever
 Is a long, long way
 Forever
 Takes your breath away
 I'd like to talk about it, try to understand
 It's getting to the point
 Getting to the point.
 It's getting to the point
 Where nobody can stop it now
 It's getting to the point
 Of no return
 And all that I can do
 Is stand and watch it now
 Watch it burn, burn, burn
 It's getting to the point
 Where reasons are forgotten
 It's getting to the point
 Where no one knows
 And all that I can do
 Is say I'm sorry
 But that's the way it goes...
 Sax Solo in Gmaj Pentatonic (over chorus chords):
 It's getting to the point  (getting to  the point)
Getting  to the point  (getting to  the point)
 It's getting  to the point  (getting to  the point)
Getting  to the point.
