  			Verse 
C              G 
I' ve called Persephone 
   Em7              D 
By the name purse-a-phone 
C           G 
Greek goddesses aren' t what 
    Em7              D 
You grab when leaving home 

C            G 
My phone' s inside my purse 
        Em7                 D 
Purse-a-phone would like it there 
            C 
Like Hades'  lair 
             G 
I pray greek gods don' t see me 
 Em7                 D 
Butchering names and not believing 

    C                         G 
But i' ll mispronounce and mis-accent for infinity 
      Em7                       D 
There isn' t much that you could do to stop me 

C                      G 
Six pomegranate seeds, winter in Greece 
Em7                D 
Please don' t visit me, Persephone 

C              G                Em7               D

C          G                 Em7                   D 
It' s not a word, let alone a church that you could send

C            G                Em7                 D 
Who needs mistakes and stupid phrases that aren' t real anyway? 
C                  G                 Em7 
If I' d a known I' d mess up this many times 
          D 
Then I' d shut up for the rest of my life

Because I don' t 
  Em7              D

But i' ll mispronounce and mis-accent for infinity
