Joy Crookes - Power

[Verse 1]
Cmaj7
I don’t need your permission
Bm7
I don’t want that disease
Am7
Lurking through every finger
Em7
That you pointed at me
Cmaj7
Don’t you like it so sexy?
Bm7
Wearing it like it’s free?
Am7
Dropping half-priced opinions
Em7
But calling me “coupon queen,” hm

[Pre-Chorus]
Cmaj7
You got bitches, you got hoes
Bm/D
We the people, and we know
Bm7sus4 B7
All we want is to be accepted
Em
But you don’t
Cmaj7
You got ideas, all the same
Bm/D
I’m your scapegoat, feed me blame
Bm7sus4
In the back of your mind

You know you wasted time
B7 Em
And you’re crossing lines with your

Crossing lines with your

[Chorus]
Cmaj7
Power
Bm/D
Come and spend it on me
Bm7
Power
Em
What it means to be free

[Verse 2]
Cmaj7 Bm7
You’re a man on a mission
Am7 Em7
But you seem to forget
Cmaj7 Bm7
You came here through a woman
Em
Show some fucking respect, hm

[Pre-Chorus]
Cmaj7
We your bitches, we your hoes
Bm/D
We the people, and we know
Bm7sus4 B7
All we want is to be accepted
Em
But you don’t
Cmaj7
You got ideas, all the same
Bm/D
I’m your scapegoat, feed me blame
Bm7sus4
In the back of your mind

You know you wasted time
B7 Em
And you’re crossing lines with your

Crossing lines with your

[Chorus]
Cmaj7
Power
Bm/D
Come and spend it on me
B7
Power
Em
What it means to be free

[Bridge]
Cmaj7 Bm7
Close your eyes ‘til you can’t see me
Am7 Bm7
Yellow polka dot burkini
Cmaj7 Bm7 Em
That they stole off her body that day
Cmaj7 Bm7
If you really want to free me
Am7 Em7
Tell my mummy that she’s pretty
Cmaj7 Bmaj7
Melanin is not your enemy

[Chorus]
Cmaj7
Here’s the truth, one condition

Can’t kill my ambition
Bm/D
Not about if you like how I sing
Bm7sus4
You can’t take my power
B7 Em
You got nothin’ on me
Cmaj7
My power
Bm/D
My power
Bm7sus4
Power
B7 Em
My power
Cmaj7
(I think always without) Power
Bm/D
(Don‘t you don‘t slow me down) Power
Bm7sus4
You can’t take my power
B7 Em
You got nothin’ on me
