Selection chords: Katie Paterson

Cm Gm Eb Bb

Verse:
Cm
 Hand on the throttle
Gm
 Thought I caught lightning in a bottle
 Eb                 Bb
 Oh, but it’s gone again
Cm
 And it was written
Gm
 I got cursed like Eve got bitten
 Eb               Bb
 Oh, was it punishment
Cm
 Pad around when I get home
Gm
 I guess a lesser woman would’ve lost hope
Eb
 A greater woman wouldn’t beg
Bb
 But I looked to the sky and said

Chorus:
 F                       Gm
 Please, I’ve been on my knees
                  Eb
 Change the prophecy, don’t want money
 Bb                           F
 Just someone who wants my company
                Gm
 Let it once be me
                  Eb
 Who Do I have to speak to
                   Bb
 About if they can redo the prophecy?

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

Chorus:
 F                       Gm
 Please, I’ve been on my knees
                  Eb
 Change the prophecy, don’t want money
 Bb                           F
 Just someone who wants my company
                Gm
 Let it once be me
                  Eb
 Who Do I have to speak to
                   Bb
 About if they can redo the prophecy?

Bridge:
Eb
 And I sound like an infant
Bb
 Feeling like the very last drops of an ink pen
F
 A greater woman stays cool
Eb
 But I howl like a wolf at the moon

 And I look unstable
Bb
 Gathered with a coven ’round a sorceress’ table
F
 A greater woman has faith
Eb
 But even statues crumble if they’re made to wait
     Bb          F
 I’m so afraid I sealed my fate
            Eb
 No sign of soulmates
            Eb              Bb
 I’m just a paperweight, in shades of greige
 F                                     Eb                Cm  Gm  Eb  Bb
 Spending my last coin so someone will tell me it’ll be okay

Cm Gm Eb Bb

Chorus:
 F                       Gm
 Please, I’ve been on my knees
                  Eb
 Change the prophecy, don’t want money
 Bb                           F
 Just someone who wants my company
                Gm
 Let it once be me
                  Eb
 Who Do I have to speak to
                   Bb                F
 About if they can redo the prophecy?
Gm                Eb
 Who Do I have to speak to
Bb                 F
 To change the prophecy?

Outro:
F
 Hand on the throttle
Gm
 Thought I caught lightning in a bottle
 Eb            Bb
 Oh, but it’s gone again
F
 Pad around when I get home
Gm
 I guess a lesser woman would’ve lost hope
Eb
 A greater woman wouldn’t beg
 Bb
 But I looked to the sky and said (Please)
