Cm
Painted to pure perfection
We had a real connection
F
Bodies, aching, overtaken
Cm
You kept me at a distance
Not asking any questions
F
Fingers, pressing, learning, lessons

Chorus:
F
Beautiful lies on a Friday night
                                     D#
Starting to wonder where we lost the magic
                                                     F
Head in the clouds, talking so loud, all I hear is static

I’m not a material girl,
                                           D#
everything in your world just feels like plastic
Wearing your crown, it’s pulling me down
                   Cm
You just want the power,
you’re not really down for love
                   F
You just want the power
The power

No, I'm not chasing paper
And I'm not faking neither
Take me higher or this will expire
Your self obsessions boring
Sorry if I'm ignoring
Mindless actions lead to destruction

Chorus:
Beautiful lies on a Friday night
Starting to wonder where we lost the magic
Head in the clouds, talking so loud, all I hear is static
I'm not a material girl
Everything in your world just feels like plastic
Wearing your crown, it's pulling me down
You just want the power
You're not really down for love
You just want the power
(The power)

                        Gm
Everything you do is so cruel (Power)
                 D#
Taking me for a fool (Power)
                  F
Making me need a new fix
Making me worship you
                        Gm
Everything you do is so cruel (Power)
                 D#
Taking me for a fool (Power)
                  F
Making me need a new fix
Making me worship you
Oh, oh

Chorus:
Beautiful lies on a Friday night
Starting to wonder where we lost the magic
Head in the clouds, talking so loud, all I hear is static
I'm not a material girl
Everything in your world just feels like plastic
Wearing your crown, it's pulling me down
You just want the power
You're not really down for love
You just want the power
(The power)
