Capo 3
-Verse 1-
[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 punishm[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
-Chorus-
[D]Please, I’ve been on my[Em]my knees
Change the prophe[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 sinking[G]sinking in
[Em] Slow is the quicksand
[G] Poison blood from the wound of the pricked hand
[C] Oh, still I dream of[G]of him
-Chorus-
[D]Please, I’ve been on my [Em]knees
Change the prophe[C]prophecy, don’t want money
[G]Just someone who wants my c[D]company
Let it once be [Em]me
Who do I have to [C]speak to
About if they can [G]redo the prophecy?
-Bridge-
[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 m[Em]made to wait
I’m [G]so afraid I[D]I sealed my fate
No sign of [C]soulmates
I’m just a [G]paperweight, i[Em]in shades of greige
[D]Spending my last coin
so someone will [Em]tell me it’ll be o[C]oka[Em]kay [G] [D]
[C] [Em] [G]
-Chorus-
[D]Please, I’ve been on my[Em]my knees
Change the prophe[C]prophecy, don’t want money
[G]Just someone who wants my co[D]company
Let it once be [Em]me
Who do I have to [C]speak to
About if they can [G]redo the prophe[Em]prophecy?
[C] Who do I have to speak to
[G] To change the pr[Em]prophecy?
-Outro-
[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[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 (Ple[D](Please)
