[Verse 1]
Gm               Eb               F
Aim, throw your best shot right at me

        Gm           Eb         F
Cause pain, I can take it easily

      Gm                  Eb            F
Did you really think I'd fall to my knees

         Gm              Eb           F
Just to pray for some sweet simplicity?
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm                               Eb           F            Gm              F
Cause woah, you're squeezing my heart, too hard in your bare hands, they hold too tight

     Gm                  Eb         F             Gm                  F
And woah the air is on fire, this room feels electric, cord here in your sights
[Chorus 1]
Gm       Eb
Power, power

        Bb                                      F
I will never understand the power you're holding over me

Gm      Eb
Power, power

          Bb                       F
Oh you've had it too long, yes you've had it too long
[Verse 2]
Gm          Eb             F           Gm
Pain, just synapses firing in our brain

            Eb             F
So when you cut me, cut me deep

         Gm              Eb          F
Hurt the ones you love the most easily

          Gm           Eb            F
Cause in time we show our Achilles's heels
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm                               Eb           F            Gm              F
Cause woah, you're squeezing my heart, too hard in your bare hands, they hold too tight

     Gm                  Eb         F             Gm                  F
And woah the air is on fire, this room feels electric, cord here in your sights
[Chorus 1]
Gm       Eb
Power, power

        Bb                                      F
I will never understand the power you're holding over me

Gm      Eb
Power, power

          Bb                       F
Oh you've had it too long, yes you've had it too long
[Bridge]
               Gm
If you're gonna hit me, hit me harder

Eb
(Hit me, hit me harder)

               Bb                         F
Cause you better knock me out the first time

             Gm
And if you're do this with the plaster

Eb
(Do this with the plaster)

Bb                                 F
If you're gonna hit me, hit me harder than this

Gm      Eb
Power, power

         Bb                                 F
Blows my mind to think I ever let you hold it over me

Well you've had it too long, yes you've had it too long

Gm         Eb             Bb              F  
Power, oh, oh, power, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Gm      Eb   
Power, power

           Bb                           F
I let you have it too long, yes you've had it too long
