[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
