Power

Intro: Am 

 
Am 
You carry me around like loose change jingle-jangling 
Am                                           Em 
At the bottom of your bag, you don't seem to feel it though 
Am                    Dm 
As you swing down the street 
G            Em              Am          Dm 
Walking that unique birthday-candle glow 
         G                  Em 
In broad daylight, in broad daylight 
Am                 Dm   G         Em 
And you don't even know the way I love you 
 

 
Am             Dm 
You never knew power, did you? 
    G                      F 
You thought that power was in a strong arm 
Am             Dm 
People passing laws and gold 
G            F 
Tsunamis and mushroom clouds 
 

 
Am 
Oh babe that's nothing 
Am 
You think it's kinda sweet 
Am 
The stammer and the tremble in my voice 
Am                       Dm 
But don't mistake it for weakness 
G               Em 
Or some kind of incompleteness 
Am                Dm  G             Em 
Cause round about now I can feel it tingle-tangling 
Am               Dm      G                 Em 
It's coiled up inside me and it's ready to blow 
 

 
Am             Dm 
You never knew power, did you? 
    G                        F 
You thought it fizzed in the overhead lines 
Am                Dm 
Burning steel and bone to carbon 
G             F 
Saturn 5 in a vertical climb 
Am             Dm 
You never knew power, did you? 
    G                        F 
You thought it roared like Niagara Falls 
   Am             Dm 
Or melted stone under volcanoes 
G                    F                 Cmaj7 D/A Cmaj7 D/A 
Earthquake, thunder, lightning, storms 
 

 
          Cmaj7    D/A              Cmaj7      D/A 
The way I love you is something you don't understand 
          Cmaj7    D/A            Cmaj7                 D/A 
The way I love you took more than I could imagine, even now 
               Cmaj7 D/A 
You never knew power 
        Cmaj7            D/A 
All the time you felt so strong 
                  Am                 G/B 
But now you can't function awake or asleep 
                   C                          Dm 
As the meaningless world falls away from your feet 
                 Em                       F 
And the universe ceases its light-speed retreat 
         Em                  F                         Em 
Life was sweet in the meteor shower of the star-high divine 
F                     G    Dm             Am   G/B C Dm 
When you sparkled and fell from heaven to hell 
        Em                F 
And ten years grinding by in every hour 
G 
In every hour 
Am 
I know all about power

Listen to the rain, you might feel a tremble, you might feel it
