Getting to the Point
Electric Light Orchestra
from "Balance of Power"
Transcribed by Chris Gaasch
Verse:
G G/B
It's out of control (out of control)
C D
And there's nothing I can do now
G G/B
Out of control (out of control)
C D
Swimming softly through the blue now
Bm Em
And look beyond these walls
Am Bm C
As the meaning starts to dawn
D (Em-D-C)
It's getting to the point
G
Getting to the point.
Verse:
G G/B
It's out of control (nothing I can do)
C D
Like a fire that keeps on burning
G G/B
And nobody knows (what I'm going through)
C D
And the thoughts just keep returning
Bm Em
And all you had to say
Am Bm C
Was that you were gonna stay
D (Em-D-C)
It's getting to the point
D G
It's getting to the point.
Chorus:
G D C
It's getting to the point
G/B(no 3rd)
Where nobody can stop it now
G D C
It's getting to the point
G/B(no 3rd)
Of no return
G D C
And all that I can do
G Em
Is stand and watch it now
Am Bm D
Watch it burn, burn, burn
G D C
It's getting to the point
G/B(no 3rd)
Where reasons are forgotten
G D C
It's getting to the point
G/B(no 3rd)
Where no one knows
G D C
And all that I can do
G Em
Is say I'm sorry
Am Bm C
But that's the way it goes...
D G
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
Am Bm D
But that's the way it goes...

C G Am G/B
It's getting to the point (getting to the point)

Getting to the point.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
