Getting to the Point
Electric Light Orchestra
from "Balance of Power"
Verse:
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.
Verse:
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.
Chorus:
It's getting to the point
/B(no 3rd)
Where nobody can stop it now
It's getting to the point
/B(no 3rd)
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
/B(no 3rd)
Where reasons are forgotten
It's getting to the point
/B(no 3rd)
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.
Verse:
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.
Chorus:
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...

Ending:
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.
