D#                    A#            F
Aim, throw your best shot right at me
       D#              A#      F
Cause pain, I can take it easily
 D#                             Gm    F
Did you really think I'd fall to my knees
          D#            A#            F
Just to pray for some sweet simplicity?

       D#                        A#
Cause woah, you're squeezing my heart,
      F           Gm               F
too hard in your bare hands, they hold too tight
     D#                 A#
And woah the air is on fire,
       F          Gm                       F
this room feels electric, caught here in your sights

Chorus:
 Gm    A#
Power, power
        Cm                                         D#    F
I will never understand the power you were holding over me
 Gm    A#
Power, power
        Cm                       D#          F
Oh you had it too long, yes you had it too long

Pain, just synapses firing in our brains
So when you cut me, cut me deep
Hurt the ones you love the most easily
'Cause in time we show our Achilles' heels

'Cause whoa, you're squeezing my heart
Too hard in your cold bare hands, they hold too tight
And whoa the air is on fire
This room feels electric, caught here in your sights

Chorus

                 D#                    Gm
If you're gonna hit me, hit me harder (Hit me, hit me harder)
                  D#                     Gm F
Cause you better knock me out the first time
                    D#
And if you’re gonna do this rip the plaster
 Gm
(Do this with the plaster)
                 D#                         Gm F
If you're gonna hit me, hit me harder than this

 A#     Gm
Power, power
          Cm                                  Gm    F
Blows my mind to think I ever let you hold it over me

Chorus:
Power, power
I will never understand the way I let you hold it over me
Power, power
Well you had it too long, yes you had it too long
Power, oh, oh, power, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Power, power
I let you had it too long, yes you had it too long
