C/E G
just someone who wants my company..
Am
let it once be me
F

C/E (Dm)

Dm
cards on the table
Am
mine play out like fools in a fable

poison blood from the wound
of the pricked hand

and i sound like an infant
C
feelin' like the very last
drops of an ink pen
G
a greater woman stays cool..

but i howl like a wolf at the moon..

gathered with a coven round
a sorceress' table

a greater woman has faith..
F
but even statues crumble
F
if they're made to wait

i'm so afraid i sealed my fate
