By Hanna M | instagram @wildworldpilots [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
