[Intro]
D A E
D A E
[Verse 1]
D A E
Aim, throw your best shot right at me
D A E
Cause pain, I can take it easily
D F#m E
Did you really think I'd fall to my knees
D A E
Just to pray for some sweet simplicity?
[Pre-Chorus]
D A
Cause woah, you're squeezing my heart,
E/G# F#m E
too hard in your bare hands, they hold too tight
D A
And woah the air is on fire,
E/G# F#m E
this room feels electric, caught here in your sights
[Chorus]
F#m A
Power, power
Bm D E
I will never understand the power you were holding over me
F#m A
Power, power
Bm D E
Oh you had it too long, yes you had it too long
[Verse 2]
D A E
Pain, just synapses firing
D A E
In our brains, when you cut me, cut me deep
D F#m E
Hurt the ones you love the most easily
D A E
Cause in time we show our Achilles's heels
[Pre-Chorus]
D A
And woah, you're squeezing my heart,
F#m E
too hard and your cold bare hands, they hold too tight
D A
And woah the air is on fire,
F#m E
this room feels electric, caught here in your sights
[Chorus]
F#m A
Power, power
Bm D E
I will never understand the power you were holding over me
F#m A
Power, power
Bm D E
Oh you had it too long, yes you had it too long
[Bridge]
D F#m
If you're gonna hit me, hit me harder (Hit me, hit me harder)
D F#m E
Cause you better knock me out the first time
D F#m
And if you’re gonna do this rip the plaster (Do this with the plaster)
D F#m E
If you're gonna hit me, hit me harder than this
A F#m
Power, power
Bm F#m E6
Blows my mind to think I ever let you hold it over me
F#m A Bm D E
[Chorus]
F#m A
Power, power
Bm D E
I will never understand the way I let you hold it over me
F#m A
Power, oh power
Bm D E
Well you had it too long, yes you had it too long
F#m A Bm D E
Oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
F#m A
Power, power
Bm D E
Let you have it too long, yes you had it too long
