Lioness (video)

Am - G - Am - G

Am G

1. You're ticking like a time bomb, fit to blow up everything,

Am G

sooner or later, babe, you're gonna come for me.

Am G

Once upon a time was the only thing to ease your pain,

Am G

somewhere along the way you got over me.

F G

And I saw you change into a lioness, a beast in the wild, unbridled,

Am Em

I could see it in your eyes, you could've eaten me alive,

F - G

just to show me you could.

Am G

2. A hunter on the prowl, my feral queen, my everything,

Am G

sooner or late, babe, you'll have your way with me.

Am G

And I shake and feel the nerves, guess that I'll get what I deserve,

F G

'cause I couldn't let it go, yeah, I know better now.

F G

‘Cause I saw you change into a lioness, a beast in the wild, unbridled,

Am Em

I could see it in your eyes, you could've eaten me alive !

F G

I saw you change into a goddess, holy, divine in your power,

Am Em

I could hear it in your cry, you could've cut me down to size.

F G

just show me you could, show me you could,

Am - Em

show me you could !

F

+ And I won't forget the way you looked at me,

G Am

I won't forget the way that you shook, straight rattled my bones.

Em

Won't forget how you showed me your mercy,

F

and I won't forget the way you looked at me.

G Am

I won't forget the way you shook, straight rattled my bones,

Em

won't forget how you showed me your mercy.

F G

‘Cause I saw you change into a lioness, a beast in the wild, unbridled,

Am Em

I could see it in your eyes, you could've eaten me alive,
