Power Chords

Key: Cm ♫ Intro: Am ♫ Verse 1: 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 ♫ Chorus 1: 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

♫ Verse 2: 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 ♫ Chorus 2: 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 ♫ Bridge: 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 ♫ Outro: Am Listen to the rain, you might feel a tremble, you might feel it
