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

Just someone who wants my company
F#m
Let it once be me
D
Who Do I have to speak to
AE
About if they can redo the prophecy?
F#mD
Who Do I have to speak to
AE
To change the prophecy?
