A
Everybody chokes
           D               E              A      D    E
When they see someone cut down in their prime
A
It may not show when you look at me
D      E           A      D    E
But I know I'm in mine
A
I'm potent baby I'm potent
D                  E    A      D    E
Dangerous to the naked eye
A
Rest your head on this bed of mother's pride
D    E        A      D    E
And find out why

D                        E
Don't you wanna take me home?
D                        E
Don't you wanna take me home?

 A
Give me a sense of purpose
   D               E     A
A real sense of purpose now
A
Give me a sense of purpose
   D               E     A
A real sense of purpose now

A
Bully boys don't bother me
D           E                 A      D    E
I purse my lips and they run away
A
Guys like you who are gentle and true
D            E            A      D    E
Don't come around here everyday
A
I'm potent baby I'm potent
 D                          E               A      D    E
Just one swing of me would get most guys smashed
A                               D
But a drop of yours makes me stagger and swerve
    E            A        D    E
I guess I'm outclassed

A
Everybody chokes
           D               E              A      D    E
When they see someone cut down in their prime
A
Take this plea to your heart
D  E          A    D    E
- Lift me in mine

D                        E
Don't you wanna take me home?
