D
Last year's rivals share their blood
Am
Sailor sworn to secrecy
C
Ride the waves and stem the flood
D
The tides of endless enmity

Power now is all the rage
Sons and daughters of the gun
Hungry babies come of age
Phasers switched and set to stun

Chorus:
D
Power now
Am
Power how?
C
Power wow
        G
Here's power

If you're seeking power

Doctor held you tight and torn
Boy, he was a lucky man
Out of you the future born
Slight of foot and sight of hand

Douse the candle, dim the light
Focus not on fire or flame
Don't believe that might is right
Your soul can turn you just the same

Chorus:
Power now
Power how?
If you're seeking power
Power wow
Here's power
Power now
Power how?
If you're seeking power
Power wow
Here's power

C
If you take my breath away
D
The whole damn thing will turn and return
C                              D
Redefined, rearranged, rearranged
                   C
If you're seeking power

And 'til my dying the day
I guess I'll have to burn just to learn
This the time, this the place
To show a human face

Dressed to kill, we guessed you might
Friend or foe or family
We'll sacrifice the Virgin white
Her death will be the life of me

Power now is all the rage
Don't excuse it, use it well
Keep the lion in his cage
Free from hunger, free from hell
