The Prophecy

Cm
   Hand on the throttle
Gm
Thought I caught lightning in a bottle
D#               A#
Oh, but it's gone again
Cm
  And it was written
Gm
I got cursed like Eve got bitten
D#                A#
Oh, was it punishment
Cm                         Gm
  Pad around when I get home
                                         D#
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

F
Please
                Gm
I've been on my knees
           D#
Change the prophecy

Don't want money
A#                            F
Just someone who wants my company
               Gm
Let it once be me
                  D#
Who do I have to speak to?
                   A#
About if they can redo

The prophecy?

Cm
   Cards on thе table
Gm
Mine play out like fools in a fablе
D#                  A#
Oh, it was sinking in
Cm
  Slow is the quicksand
Gm
Poison blood from the wound of the pricked hand
D#                   A#
Oh, still I dream of him

F
Please
                Gm
I've been on my knees
                 D#
Change the prophecy

Don't want money
A#                             F
Just someone who wants my company
               Gm
Let it once be me
                 D#
Who do I have to speak to?
                  A#
About if they can redo

The prophecy?

D#
   And I sound like an infant
A#
Feelin' like the very last drops of an ink pen
F
  A greater woman stays cool
D#
   But I howl like a wolf at the Moon
D#
   And I look unstable
A#
Gathered with a coven 'round a sorceress' table
F
  A greater woman has faith
    D#                             D#
But even statues crumble if they're made to wait
    A#          F
I'm so afraid I sealed my fate
           D#
No sign of soulmates
           D#
I'm just a paperweight
   A#
In shades of greige
F                                    D#
Spendin' my last coin so someone will tell me
             D#  Gm  D#  A#
It'll be okay
F    Gm
Ooh, Ooh
D#   A#
Ooh, Ooh

F
Please
                Gm
I've been on my knees
                 D#
Change the prophecy

Don't want money
A#                           F
Just someone who wants my company
              Gm
Let it once be me
                 D#
Who do I have to speak to?
                  A#
About if they can redo
          F
The prophecy?
Gm                   D#
   Who do I have to speak to
A#
   To change the prophecy?
