John Michael Howell – Power (Guitar)

   Am                            F            G
I can't say "I love you" 'cause that would allow her

    C                         F         G
To control my heart like the wind to a flower

 Am                            F          G
Blown by the breeze, tossed around as it scours

     Am          C             N.C.
For someone who won't turn its love into power

Am                            F         G
She knows the game more than I've ever seen

           C
Plays her cards with such ease

          F           G
No one's seen up her sleeve

      Am                         C
It's hard to trust someone who's so good a liar

    Am                         F              G
The more you grow closer, the more that you wonder

Am                         C              G
All her compliments, were they more than chatter?

    C                      N.C.
Or havе I always just been rungs on a ladder?

   Am                            F            G
I can't say "I love you" 'cause that would allow her

    C                         F         G
To control my heart like the wind to a flower

 Am                            F          G
Blown by the breeze, tossed around as it scours

     Am          C              F         Em
For someone who won't turn its love into power

   Am                        F          G
I don't mean to sound narcissistic and sour

    C                 F
But my hesitation's only growin' louder

    Am                   F         G
So call me a pessimist, call me a coward

    C                             F
But I still don't trust when she says

      Am                 F                G
Oh, I try not to care so I don't lose my cool

       C                      F           G
When I do, my brain goes all numb like a fool

        Am                            F          G
Like a thief in the night, she works behind the scenes

             C                          F        G
Steals your heart when it's dark so no one ever sees

    Am                    C                        Am
And I couldn't see her intentions if they were the sun

                        C                       Am
Love is blind, but her silence speaks loudly enough

   Am                            F            G
I can't say "I love you" 'cause that would allow her

    C                         F         G
To control my heart like the wind to a flower

 Am                            F          G
Blown by the breeze, tossed around as it scours

     Am          C              F         Em
For someone who won't turn its love into power

   Am                        F          G
I don't mean to sound narcissistic and sour

    C                 F
But my hesitation's only growin' louder

    Am                   F         G
So call me a pessimist, call me a coward

    C                             F
But I still don't trust when she says

          Em           Am
'I don't love you for power"

  G      C      F
(Power, power, power)

    Am                   F
So call me a pessimist, call me a coward

    C                             Am
But I still don't trust when she says

          F            C
"I don't love you for power"
