Verse 
===== 
You think it's kind of sweet 
The stammer and the tremble in my voice 
B|-6/8~-| Gtr. 1 

But don't mistake it for weakness

Or some kind of incompleteness 

'Cause round about now

B|--------| Gtr. 3 
G|-7/8----| 
D|--------| 

I can feel it tingle-tangling

G|-7/8----| 
D|--------| 

Chorus (As before x2) 
====== 
You never knew power, did you?  
Y'thought it fizzed in the overhead lines  
Burning steel and bone to carbon  
Saturn 5 in vertical climb  

You never knew power, did you?  
'thought it roared like Niagra Falls  
Or melted stone under volcanoes  
Earthquake-thunder lightning-storms

Took more than I could imagine, even now  
You never knew power  
All the time you felt so strong

But now you can't function awake or asleep  
As the meaningless world falls away from your feet  
And the universe ceases it's light-speed retreat  
Life was sweet in the meteor-shower  
Of the star-high divine  
When you sparkled and fell  
From heaven to hell
