Intro (x2): Em G C Am Verse: Em G They send me away to find them a fortune C Am a chest filled with diamonds and gold Em The house was awake G With shadows and monsters C Am The hallways they echoed and groaned Em G I sat alone, in bed 'til the morning C Am I'm crying, "They're coming for me" Em G And I tried to hold these secrets inside me C Am My mind's like a deadly disease Chorus: Em G I'm bigger than my body C Am I'm colder than this home Em G I'm meaner than my demons C Am I'm bigger than these bones Em And all the kids cried out, G "Please stop, you're scaring me" C Am I can't help this awful energy Em G xxxxxxx right, you should be scared of me C Am Who is in control? Verse: Em G I paced around for hours, I'm empty C Am I jumped at the slightest of sounds Em G And I couldn't stand the person inside me C Am I turned all the mirrors around Chorus: Em G I'm bigger than my body C Am I'm colder than this home Em G I'm meaner than my demons C Am I'm bigger than these bones Em And all the kids cried out, G "Please stop, you're scaring me" C Am I can't help this awful energy Em G xxxxxxx right, you should be scared of me C Am Who is in control? Verse: Em I'm well acquainted G C Am With villains that live in my bed Em They beg me to write them G C Am So they'll never die when I'm dead Em And I've grown familiar G C Am With villains that live in my head G They beg me to write them G C Am So I'll never die when I'm dead Chorus: Em G I'm bigger than my body C Am I'm colder than this home Em G I'm meaner than my demons C Am I'm bigger than these bones Em And all the kids cried out, G "Please stop, you're scaring me" C Am I can't help this awful energy Em G xxxxxxx right, you should be scared of me C Am Who is in control?

How to play Control on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the driving 4/4: d – d – d u d u. The groove sits around 120 bpm, a medium pace. On this page the song is in E minor. The chords stay at the novice level, nothing tricky in there. Push hard into the chorus with steady driving downs for the dark pulse.

the final verse is supposed to be played twice and then the outro.
Hey this is really easy
I recommend using a capo, and putting it on the 2nd fret. It makes it a little higher but to me it sounds right.
Love this song thank you!
MY FAVORITE SONG!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
ddu
The chords seem a little too high…it just doesn’t sound right as it is. I’m also a bit confused on the strumming pattern as well…..
Yeah capo on second fret, no transpose
Wow,that was much easier than expected. Great for a beginner like myself. But I’m really confused on the strumming pattern…
Halsey repeats the last verse one more time
