A
Stay away from the future

Back away from the light

It's all deranged - no control

Sit tight in your corner
 F
Don't tell God your plans

It's all deranged - No control

   G
If I could control tomorrow's haze
     F                      G
The darkest shore wouldn't bother me
If I can't control The web we weave
    F                    D#
My life will be lost in falling leaves

Every single move's uncertain
Don't tell God your plans

It's all deranged - no control

    G
I should live my life on bended knee
      F                G
If I can't control my destiny
You've got to have a scheme
You've got to have a plan

In the world of today, for tomorrow's man

Forbidden words, deafen me
    F       G
In memory, no control

See how far a sinful man
 F                    D#
Burn his tracks, his bloody robes

        G
You've got to have a scheme
You've got to have a plan
        F                     D#
In the world of today, for tomorrow's man
I should live my life on bended knee

If I can't control my destiny
