[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
