Verse 1
am e
I'm bending and about to break , so tired and feeling weak
e am
I'm vulnerable to mistakes, I didn't used make, I am staring at defeat
f am
I'm struggling to address all those shortcomings I've suppressed
e7 e am
so many things I wished I'd changed and now I regret , Leaves me Powerless

1st chorus
am f 7 e6 am e7 e
so powerless as the light fades from eyes I pray for a miracle , before all hope dies

am f 7 e6 am e7
so powerless as I watch you slip away I've done everything I know how to do
e am
And itls all been in vain

2nd Verse
am e
I'm adrift on a stormy sea, on a leaky boat without a sail
e am
I'm running out track, on a speeding train , soon I will derail
f am
Like bird with a broken wing I've lost control of so many things
e7 e am
I'm Crumbling under the stress So powerless
Bridge
high f progression 10th fret bar 1st 3 strings 4th string 13th fret

Like the frightened Boy at the leaking dyke with the water breaking through

high am minor progression bar 1st 3 strings 5th fret 4th string 7th fret

Every time I plug another hole it gets replaced by two
d7 e7 e am
I'm running out out of fingers what more can I do I'm powerless

2nd chorus same chords as first

so powerless as the light fades from eyes I pray for a miracle , before all hope dies

so powerless as I watch you slip away I've done everything I know how to do

And it's all been in vain, I'm Powerless , So Powerless
