🎶 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
A greater woman wouldn’t beg
[G]But I looked to the sky and said [D](Please)
