Don't you mess with a little girl's dream
 
'Cause she's liable to grow up mean
 
   F                           G#
Surprised you to find that I'm laughing?
    C#                            Bb
You thought that you'd find me in tears
    F                           G#
You thought I'd be crawling the walls
            C#                        Bb
Like a tiny mosquito and trembling in fear
 
     F                       G#
Well you may be king for the moment
    C#                Bb
But I am a queen understand
    F                            G#
And I've got your pawns and your bishops
 
And castles
    C#                    Bb
All inside the palm of my hand
 
F
While you were looking the other way
Bb
While you had your eyes closed
F
While you were licking your lips
       Bb
'Cause I was miserable
F
While you were selling your soul
Bflat                            F
While you were tearing a hole in me
Bflat
I was taking control
F                       Bb
Now I have taken control...
F                       Bb
Now I have taken control...
C#                      Bb
Now I have taken control...
F
Control.
F                       G#
This is beginning to feel good
C#                          Bb
Watching you squirm in your shoes
  F                           G#
A small bead of sweat on your brow
                    C#                       Bb
And a growl in your belly your scared to let through
 
    F                              G#
You thought you could keep me from loving
    C#                           Bb
You thought you could feed on my soul
    F                        G#
But while you were busy destroying my life
         C#                    Bb
What was half in me has become whole
F
While you were looking the other way
Bflat
While you had your eyes closed
F
While you were licking your lips
       Bb
'Cause I was miserable
F
While you were selling your soul
Bflat                            F
While you were tearing a hole in me
Bb
I was taking control
F                       Bb
Now I have taken control...
F                       Bb
Now I have taken control...
C#                       Bb
Now I have taken control...
F
Control.
                   C#
So this is how it feels
           F
To breath in the summer air
    C#
The feel the sand between my toes
     F
And love inside my ear
C#                    Eb
All those things that you taught me to fear
     Bb
I've got them in my garden now
                          F    G#   C#   Bb
And your not welcome here..................... 
 
                  F   
Come a little bit closer
G#                C#     Bb 
Let me look at you
   F                G#
I gave you the benefit
C#                Bb
Of the doubt it's true
F                      G#
But keep in mind my darling
    C#                Bb
Not every saint is a fool
 
F                          
While you were looking the other way
Bb
While you had your eyes closed
F
While you were licking your lips
        Bb
'Cause I was miserable
F
While you were selling your soul
Bb                            F
While you were tearing a hole in me
Bb
I was taking control
F                       Bb
Now I have taken control...
F                       Bb
Now I have taken control...
F                       Bb
Control.....................
          F
Don't you mess with me
