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