 Here's Power of Two by IG. The strumming is syncopated and complex but
 these chords are (I think) the basis of it all. It helps to play along
 a few times. I think they use a capo on the 5th fret (or somewhere near
 there...) Have FUN!

 D/F#     G       C     G     G      D       Am       
 now the parking lot is empty everyones gone someplace
 D/F#        G              C          G      F                 Am     D 
 I pick you up and in the trunk I've packed a cooler & a 2-day suitcase
 D/F#            G        C      G      G      D      Am     
 cause theres a place we like to goto, way out in the country
 D/F#     G          C                 G           F             Am  D 
 5 miles out of the city limit we're singin & your hands upon my knee
 
 chorus

          G          G/F             C               D    
 so we're ok, we're fine, baby i'm here to stop the crying
                G               G/F 
 chase all the ghosts from your head
                    C                     D 
 stronger than the monster beneathe your bed
   B7                Em                    C 
 smarter than the tricks played on your heart
                      G                  D/F#   Em   
 we'll look at them together then we'll take em apart
                Am        Am/B       Am/C 
 adding up the total of a love thats true
          D                     G  
 multiply life by the power of two.
 
 
 you know the things that i am afraid of, I'm not afraid to tell
 & if we ever leave a legacy its that we loved each other well
 Ive seen the shadows of so many people trying on the treasures of youth
 a road that fancy and fast ends in a fatal crash & i'm glad we got off
 to tell you the truth
 
 chorus

 bridge

 Am      Am/B         Am/C           Am/B  
 all the tiny little trinkets of temptation
           Am              Am/B      G 
 something new instead of something old
 Am       Am/B        Am/C                Am/B            Am/C Am/B Am  
 all you gotta do is scratch beneathe the surface and its foo-oools gold
 Am/C Am/B  Am 
 foo-oools gold
 
 now we're talking bout a difficult thing and your eyes are getting wet
 but i took us for better and i took us for worse dont you ever forget
 the stell bars between me and a promise suddenly bend with ease
 the closer i'm bound in love to you the closer i am to free
 
 chorus
