we stood near the cage of the prize-fighting cock 
Dmaj7                                 D
the sun cut through the clouds but the air pressure dropped 
Dmaj7                   D
and I touched your hair for the very first time 
Dmaj7
I have that moment with me now 
D
it's all mine 
D      A
and you 
A             D                G                    D
showed me a thing or two about power in its purest form

a few minutes later you went back inside 
and I stood near the clothesline where strips of beef dried 
hanging in the noon-day sun 
flies were buzzing nearby 
and then your face in the window caught my eye 
and you 
showed me a thing or two about power in its purest form 

things don't look much different now from where I stand 
looking for you with camera in hand 
someone's gone away 
and someone's gotten taller 
but the world stopped turning and the universe is much smaller 
since you 
showed me a thing or two about power in its purest form 
yeah you 
showed me a thing or two about power in its purest form
