Chords

[Verse 1]
Em
Hand on the throttle

G
Thought I caught lightning in a bottle

C                                G
Oh, but it's gone again

Em
         And it was written

G
I got cursed like Eve got bitten

C                     G
Oh, was it 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

                Em
I've been on my knees

             C
Change the prophecy
Don't want money
G                                     D
Just someone who wants my company

              Em
Let it once be me

                        C
Who do I have to speak to

                  G
About if they can redo
The prophecy? [Verse 2]
Em
Cards on the table

G
Mine play out like fools in a fable,

C                G
Oh,It was sinking in

Em
   Slow is the quicksand

G
Poison blood from the wound of the pricked hand

C                      G
Oh, still I dream of him
[Chorus]
D
Please

                Em
I've been on my knees

                 C
Change the prophecy
Don't want money
G                                    D
Just someone who wants my company

                Em
Let it once be me

                        C
Who do I have to speak to

                  G
About if they can 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                                   Em
But even statues crumble if they're made to wait

         G              D
I'm so afraid I sealed my fate

                    C
No sign of soulmates

              G
I'm just a paperweight

Em
In shades of greige

D                                                   Em
     Spending my last coin so someone will tell me

         C   Em
I’ll  Be O kay
G D C Em G [Chorus]
D
Please

                 Em
I've been on my knees

              C
Change the prophecy
Don't want money
G                               D
Just someone who wants my company

                Em
Let it once be me

                        C
Who do I have to speak to

                     G
About if they can redo

Em
The prophecy?

C
Who do I have to speak to

G                       Em
To change the prophecy?
[Outro]
Em
      Hand on the throttle

G
    Thought I caught lightning in a bottle,

C                   G
Oh, But it's gone again

Em                              G
     Pad around when I get home

                                     C
I guess a lesser woman would've lost hope
A greater woman wouldn't beg
G
    But I looked to the sky and said

D
    (Please)
