The Prophecy - Taylor Swift
Tuning: Gm, E A D G B E
[Verse 1]
Hand on the t
hrottle
Thought I cau
ght lightning
in a bottle
Oh, but it’s
gone again
And it was wr
itten
I got cursed
like Eve got b
itten
Oh, was it pu
nishment
Pad around wh
en I get home
I guess a les
ser woman woul
d’ve lost hope
A greater wom
an wouldn’t be
g
But I looked
to the sky and
said
[Chorus]
Please, I’ve
been on my kne
es
Change the pr
ophecy, don’t
want money
Just someone
who wants my c
ompany
Let it once b
e me
Who do I have
to speak to
About if they
can redo the
prophecy?
[
Cards on thе
table
Mine play out
like fools in
a fablе
Oh, it was si
nking in
Slow is the q
uicksand
Poison blood
from the wound
of the pricke
d hand
Oh, still I d
ream of him
[Chorus]
Please, I’ve
been on my kne
es
Change the pr
ophecy, don’t
want money
Just someone
who wants my c
ompany
Let it once b
e me
Who do I have
to speak to
About if they
can redo the
prophecy?
[Bridge]
And I sound l
ike an infant
Feeling like
the very last
drops of an in
k pen
A greater wom
an stays cool
But I howl li
ke a wolf at t
he moon
And I look unstable
Gathered with
a coven ’roun
d a sorceress’
table
A greater wom
an has faith
But even stat
ues crumble if
they’re made
to wait
I’m so afraid
I sealed my f
ate
No sign of so
ulmates
I’m just a pa
perweight, in
shades of grei
ge
Spending my l
ast coin so so
meone will tel
l me it’ll be
okay
[Chorus]
Please, I’ve
been on my kne
es
Change the pr
ophecy, don’t
want money
Just someone
who wants my c
ompany
Let it once b
e me
Who do I have
to speak to
About if they
can redo the
prophecy?
Who do I have
to speak to
To change the
prophecy?
[Outro]
Hand on the t
hrottle
Thought I cau
ght lightning
in a bottle
Oh, but it’s
gone again
Pad around wh
en I get home
I guess a les
ser woman woul
d’ve lost hope
A greater wom
an wouldn’t be
g
But I looked
to the sky and
said (Please)
