The Prophecy

[Em]Hand on the throttle

[G]Thought I caught lightning in a bottle

[C]Oh, but it’s gone [G]again

[Em]And it was written

[G]I got cursed like Eve got bitten

[C]Oh, was it [G]punishment

[Em]Pad around when I get home

[G]I guess a lesser woman would’ve lost hope

[C]A greater woman wouldn’t beg

[G]But I looked to the sky and said

 

[D]Please, I’ve been on [Em]my knees

Change the [C]prophecy, don’t want money

[G]Just someone who wants my [D]company

Let it once be [Em]me

Who do I have to [C]speak to

About if they can [G]redo the prophecy?

 

[Em]Cards on thе table

[G]Mine play out like fools in a fablе

[C]Oh, it was [G]sinking in

[Em]Slow is the quicksand

[G]Poison blood from the wound of the pricked hand

[C]Oh, still I dream [G]of him

 

[D]Please, I’ve been on my [Em]knees

Change the [C]prophecy, don’t want money

[G]Just someone who wants my [D]company

Let it once be [Em]me

Who do I have to [C]speak to

About if they can [G]redo the prophecy?

 

[Em]And I sound like an infant

[G]Feeling like the very last drops of an ink pen

[D]A greater woman stays cool

[C]But I howl like a wolf at the moon

[Em]And I look unstable

[G]Gathered with a coven ’round a sorceress’ table

[D]A greater woman has faith

[C]But even statues crumble if they’re [Em]made to wait

I’m [G]so afraid [D]I sealed my fate

No sign of [C]soulmates

I’m just a [G]paperweight, [Em]in shades of greige

[D]Spending my last coin

so someone will [Em]tell me it’ll be [C]o[Em]kay [G] [D]

[C] [Em] [G]

 

[D]Please, I’ve been on [Em]my knees

Change the [C]prophecy, don’t want money

[G]Just someone who wants my [D]company

Let it once be [Em]me

Who do I have to [C]speak to

About if they can [G]redo the [Em]prophecy?

[C]Who do I have to speak to

[G]To change the [Em]prophecy?

 

[Em]Hand on the throttle

[G]Thought I caught lightning in a bottle

[C]Oh, but it’s [G]gone again

[Em]Pad around when I [G]get home

I guess a lesser woman would’ve lost [C]hope

 

[G]But I looked to the sky and said [D](Please)
