Verse 1

Hey little sister do you know what time it was

When you finally seen all your broken dreams

Come crashing down your door

They demand an answer and they demand it quick

When the questions fade and all the wasted days

Come crawling back for more and I said

Do you know where the power lies

And who pulls the strings

Do you know where the power lies

It starts and ends with you

C F CC (WITH RIFF-1)

The face of isolation well that's what you recognize

And what you can't get straight is a lonely place

And all you do despise

Boredom is for sale now and helplessness you feel

Well it's a wounded dove and the hawks are above

For splattering reel to reel and I said

Do you know where the power lies

And who pulls the strings

Do you know where the power lies

It starts and ends with you

(WITH RIFF-1)

(BASS)

I was almost over and my world was almost gone

And in a sudden rush I could almost touch the

Things that I'd done wrong

My jungle's made of concrete and through the silence I can feel

That my aim is true and I will walk on through

These mountains made of steel and I said

Do you know where the power lies

And who pulls the strings

Do you know where the power lies

It starts and ends with you
