Artist: Nelly Furtado Song: Powerless Album: Folklore (2004) VERSE #1 -------- E Paint my face in your magazines Asus2 Make it look whiter than it seems E Paint me over with your dreams Asus2 Shove away my ethnicity E Burn every notion that I may have a flame inside to fight Asus2 And say just what is on my mind E Without offending your might Chorus ------ Dsus2 Cuz this life is too Em short to live it just for you G But when you feel so powerless Dsus2 what are you gonna do. So say what you want VERSE #2 -------- E I saw her face outside today Asus2 Weatherworn, looking all the rage E They took her passion and her gaze and made a poster Asus2 Now it's moccasins we sport E We take the culture and contort Asus2 Perhaps only to distort what we are hiding Chorus ------ Dsus2 Cuz this life is too Em short to live it just for you G But when you feel so powerless Dsus2 what are you gonna do. So say what you want Bridge ------ D Dsus2 Dsus4 Hey you, the one outside, are you ever gonna get in, get in Hey you, the one that don't fit in, how ya, how ya gonna get in Hey you, the one outside, are you ever gonna get in with your Broken teeth, broken jaw, broken mojo Chorus X2 ------ Dsus2 Cuz this life is too Em short to live it just for you G But when you feel so powerless Dsus2 what are you gonna do. So say what you want
