Want to save your men from the fire?

Show me that you're willing to burn, woah

Chorus 1:
--- ODYSSEUS, (CIRCE) ---
Fm                     Bb
Who's to say, with the mistakes I've made (Don't be afraid)
               Eb                                          Abmaj7
That they will be the last (Think of your past) mistakes I ever make? (Don't break when)

--- ODYSSEUS, CIRCE ---
         Dm7            G7
There is so much power, so much power
    C                    C7
But there's no puppet here

--- CIRCE, (ODYSSEUS)  ---
Fm              Bb
 This is the price we pay to love (I'm just a man)
Eb               Abmaj7
 There is no line never enough (I'm just a man)
Dm7            G7
So much power, so much power (Forgive me)
    C
But there's no puppet here

Verse 2:
--- ODYSSEUS ---
  Fm     Bb     Eb
I can’t!
Fm                     Bb
Back at home, my wife awaits for me
          Eb               Abmaj7
She is my everything, my Penelope
          Dm7           G7
And she’s all my power, all my power
    Cm                    C7
But it’s been twelve long years, oh
Fm                             Bb
Twelve long years since I have seen my wife
            Eb                     Abmaj7
And now the god of tides is out to end my life
     Dm7            G7
So I beg you Circe, grant us mercy
    Cm             Cm7
And let us puppets leave

Verse 3:
--- CIRCE ---
(nc)
(Ah, Posiden, eh?)
C5               Fm               Bb
There might be a way to evade him
                 Eb              Abmaj7
There might be a way to get home
                  Dm7                  G7
Though this other way’s very dangerous
                 C7
It might be your one final hope
            Fm                Bb
I know of a brilliant prophet
                Eb         (nc) C5
Problem is this prophet is dead
                Dm7                           G7         Cm
I can’t get you home, but I’ll get you to the Underworld instead
                  Dm7                          G7         Cm
I’ll release your men, and I’ll get you to the Underworld instead

There are many ways of persuasion
               Eb               Abmaj7
There are many modes of control
              Dm7                 G7
Maybe showing one act of kindness
                C                   C7
Leads to kinder souls down the road
           Fm                 Bb
I remember actions of passion
               Eb               Abmaj7
I have been in love once before
          Dm7                       G7           C    C7
Maybe one day the world will need a puppeteer no more
             Dm7                       G7
Or maybe one day the world will need a puppeteer

Chorus 2:
--- SOLDIERS, (CIRCE) ---
Ab                    Bb
(more!)So much power, so much power
    Ab                Bb
But there’s no puppet here
Cm
No she’ not a player, she’ a puppeteer
Cm
No she’ not a player, she’ a puppeteer, yeah!
