[Bm] I didn't see it coming, no wind, [F#m] no flame, just the [Em] hush of your presence whispering my name.
No sudden spark, no flash of light, [G] just the silence turning soft [Bm] and right.
You didn't shout, you didn't chase, [F#m] the time bent gently inside your grace, [Em] like autumn
that sweet [D] control like velvet rain, [Bm] falling slow
pain.
[B] away.

No sudden spark, no flash of light, [G] just the silence turning soft [Bm] and right.
You didn't shout, you didn't chase, [F#m] the time bent gently inside your grace, [Em] like autumn
air beneath the sigh.
[F#] You moved [G] through me and passed [A] me by, that sweet [D] control like velvet rain, [Bm] falling slow
where I hide my pain.
[G] Not a storm, not a tidal wave, just a [A] pull to warm to turn [B] away.
[D] Sweet _ _ [F#m] control, _ control, [Em] _ _ _ [G] soft and [A] sure, taking hold.
You [Bm] walk like a rhythm never taught, every step is a [F#m] line I forgot I thought.
And [Em] I lean into [Em] the sway, not knowing [G] where, but not [A] afraid.
Sweet [D] control like whining dust, settling [Bm] slow in the soul I trust.
You [G] didn't ask, you didn't try, still [A] you turned my no to why.
[D] Sweet control, [F#m] _ _ _ _
[Em] _ let _ _ [A] it flow.
It's [B] not the fire that burns me fast, [F#m] but the ember that decides to last.
[G] Not the chains that bind or bruise, but the [A] voice I never [B] want to lose.
You [Bm] touch the strings I never played, woke a [F#m] song I thought had gone away.
[Em] And in your silence I hear more than [G] thunder pounding [A] at my door.
[D] Sweet control, so light, so deep, [Bm] you move the parts I swore to keep.
[G] Like a dream I once let slip away, [A] come back to me in light and sway.
[D] _ No need to speak, no [F#m] need to stay, your presence lingers [G] anyway.
