G#   C#           D#
What if I were to disobey
             Fm        G#
And give you back the power,
              C#     D#
Would I be punished like a child,
     Fm
And left on my own?
G#         C#         D#
Would you think me ungrateful,
    Fm
And send me away,
G#    C#      D#            Fm
If I couldn't make you happy?

G#              C#           D#
As empty handed leaving as I was when I came
Tip-toeing through the rubble
    Fm                   G#
And running through the flames - x4

What if I were to disobey
Give you back the power?
Would you be the one to turn your back
And cast the first stone?
Would you think me a coward
Though I'd be the hero
And come home a hero?

I gave you back your power
I gave you back your glory
Well really, I hadn't noticed,
Until I had the power to give it all back
Until I felt the glory
when the buildings collapsed - x2

As empty handed leaving as I was when I came
Tip-toeing through the rubble
And running through the flames - x4

I gave you back your power
I gave you back your glory
Well really, I hadn't noticed,
Until I had the power to give it all back
Until I felt the glory
when the buildings collapsed - x2

I gave you back your power
I gave you back your glory - x4
