Am                        G
Wanna be king in your story
         Am
I wanna know who you are
                               G
I want your heart to beat for me
    Am
Oh I-
                            G
Want you to sing to me softly
                    Am
‘Cause then I’m outrunning the dark
                                  G
That’s all that love ever taught me
    Am
Oh I-

                      G Am
Call and I’ll rush out
                     G
All out of breath now

Chorus:
                 Am         F   G   Am
You’ve got that power over me, my my
              Dm                    C     G
Everything I hold dear resides in those eyes
                            F   G  Am
You’ve got that power over me, my my
                Dm                    C  G
The only one I know, the only one on my mind
                            F   G  Am
You've got that power over me (my my)
               Dm        C  G
Got that power over me (my my)
                           Am
You've got that power over me

Remember the lake in the moonlight?
Remember you shivered and shone?
I'll never forget what you looked like on that night
But I know that time's gonna take me
I know that day's gonna come
I just want the devil to hate me
Oh, I

Call and I'll rush out
All out of breath now

Chorus

       Dm         C
It was all in doubt
          G         Am
They were all around
                   G       F
So we had a way a nevertell
                                Am
The sight of darkness knows you well
                     G              F
That lesson of love, all that it was,
I need you to see

You've got that power over me, my my
Everything I hold dear resides in those eyes
You've got that power over me, my my
The only one I know, the only one on my mind
You've got that power over me
(Woo)

I know that I let her down, no
Let her down, no

Chorus:
You've got that power over me, my my
Everything I hold dear resides in those eyes
Got that power over me, my my
The only one I know, the only one on my mind
You've got that power over me
