Verse
=====
You think it's kind of sweet
The stammer and the tremble in my voice
B|-6/8~-| Gtr. 1
But don?t mistake it for weakness
G|-5~-| Gtr. 2
Or some kind of incompleteness
'Cause round about now e|-----6~-| B|--------| Gtr. 3 G|-7/8----| D|--------|
I can feel it tingle-tangling
B|-3/6/8~-| Gtr. 3
It's coiled up inside me And it?s ready to blow e|-----6~-| B|--------| Gtr. 3 G|-7/8----| D|--------|
Chorus (As before x2)
======
You never knew power, did you?
Y'thought it fizzed in the overhead lines
Burning steel and bone to carbon
Saturn 5 in vertical climb
You never knew power, did you?
'thought it roared like Niagra Falls
Or melted stone under volcanoes
Earthquake-thunder lightning-storms

The way I love you
It's something you don't understand
The way I love you
Took more than I could imagine, even now
You never knew power
All the time you felt so strong

But now you can't function awake or asleep
As the meaningless world falls away from your feet
And the universe ceases it's light-speed retreat
Life was sweet in the meteor-shower
Of the star-high divine
When you sparkled and fell
From heaven to hell
