Verse:
C#m
Hand on the throttle
G#m
Thought I caught lightning in a bottle
EB
Oh, but it’s gone again
C#m
And it was written
G#m
I got cursed like Eve got bitten
EB
Oh, was it punishment
C#m
Pad around when I get home
G#m
I guess a lesser woman would’ve lost hope
E
A greater woman wouldn’t beg
B
But I looked to the sky and said
Chorus:
F#G#m
Please, I’ve been on my knees
E
Change the prophecy, don’t want money
BF#
Just someone who wants my company
G#m
Let it once be me
E
Who Do I have to speak to
B
About if they can redo the prophecy?
C#m
Cards on thе table
G#m
Mine play out like fools in a fablе
EB
Oh, it was sinking in
C#m
Slow is the quicksand
G#m
Poison blood from the wound of the pricked hand
EB
Oh, still I dream of him
Chorus:
F#G#m
Please, I’ve been on my knees
E
Change the prophecy, don’t want money
BF#
Just someone who wants my company
G#m
Let it once be me
E
Who Do I have to speak to
B
About if they can redo the prophecy?
Bridge:
E
And I sound like an infant
B
Feeling like the very last drops of an ink pen
F#
A greater woman stays cool
E
But I howl like a wolf at the moon
And I look unstable
B
Gathered with a coven ’round a sorceress’ table
F#
A greater woman has faith
E
But even statues crumble if they’re made to wait
BF#
I’m so afraid I sealed my fate
E
No sign of soulmates
EB
I’m just a paperweight, in shades of greige
F#EC#mG#mEB
Spending my last coin so someone will tell me it’ll be okay
C#mG#mEB
Chorus:
F#G#m
Please, I’ve been on my knees
E
Change the prophecy, don’t want money
BF#
Just someone who wants my company
G#m
Let it once be me
E
Who Do I have to speak to
BF#
About if they can redo the prophecy?
G#mE
Who Do I have to speak to
BF#
To change the prophecy?
Outro:

Oh, but it’s gone again
F#
Pad around when I get home

A greater woman wouldn’t beg
