F 
It's always something small in the beginning 
D 
Just a careless thought said without thinking 
Bb                                                F 
That makes the chain react and there's no taking back Oh 
F 
Soon we're drawing swords and making circles 
D 
Tiptoeing round the thing that really hurts most 
Bb                                            F 
Too stubbon to stand down too proud to turn around, Oh 
  
F 
Caught in a Crescendo Crescendo Crescendo 
D 
And none of us can let go let go let go 
Bb                                                             F 
It's out of our control control control and I can't stand the noise 
  
F 
You look me in the eye I keep on staring 
D 
Straight ahead like I'm not even caring 
Bb                                        F 
But we both know this game it's all a masquerade 
F  
Oh oh 

F 
And I know later on we'll both regret it 
F 
But while the moment's here we can't forget it 
Bb                                          F 
Before we know we're stuck turn our emotions up 
  
Oh oh 

F 
Caught in a Crescendo Crescendo Crescendo 
D 
And none of us can let go let go let go 
Bb                                                             F 
It's out of our control control control and I can't stand the noise 

F D Bb F 

F 
Can we stop and talk it over 
D 
Instead of talking over ourselves 
Bb 
Can we stop and talk it over 
F 
Over over over 

F 
We keep getting louder  
D 
We keep getting louder  
Bb 
We keep getting louder  
F 
And I can't stand the noise 

F 
Caught in a Crescendo Crescendo Crescendo 
D 
And none of us can let go let go let go 
Bb                                                             F 
It's out of our control control control and I can't stand the noise
