A# Flashing floods, stuck in the mud D# I was off the grid in all the ruts Cm7 A# Still felt so close from far away Sun went down, lights went out We built a fire, so strong now And there's no words for what I want to say Chorus: Gm7 Lay me down here to sleep Cm7 To the sound of defeat F A# When it comes to us we're powerless Powerless Violent wind, blew down the door Did me in and I prayed for more All the damage done and I don't wanna change No way Chorus A# One friend said "Nothing's really set in stone D# Another way of holding on Find a way to let it go" Cm7 I don't remember what you said F But I remember what you meant A# I remember how it felt How it felt to loose control Powerless Powerless Powerless You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  Cm7  D#  F  Gm7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
