Cassandra

	  		            Fm         Eb     Bb 
I was in my new house placing daydreams 
                Fm      Eb      Bb 
Patching up the crack along the wall 
                   Fm       Eb       Bb 
I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying 
                          Fm      Eb Bb 
'Cause that's where I was when I got the call 

Fm         Eb             Bb 
  When the first stone's thrown, there's screaming 
Fm       Eb                 Bb 
  In the streets, there's a raging riot 
Fm           Eb       Bb 
  When it's: Burn the bitch!, they're shrieking 
Fm         Eb          Bb 
  When the truth comes out, it's quiet 

Gm  Bb                F 
    So they killed Cassandra first 

'Cause she feared the worst 
Gm             Bb       F 
  And tried to tell the town 
Gm  Bb                F 
    So they filled my cell with snakes 

I regret to say 
Gm          Bb       F 
   Do you believe me now? 

            Fm    Eb      Bb 
I was in my tower weaving nightmares 
                Fm     Eb   Bb 
Twisting all my smiles into snarls 
                      Fm       Eb        Bb 
They say what doesn't kill you makes you aware 
                   Fm      Eb      Bb 
What happens if it becomes who you are? 

Gm  Bb                F 
    So they killed Cassandra first 

'Cause she feared the worst 
Gm             Bb       F 
  And tried to tell the town 
Gm  Bb                F 
    So they set my life in flames 

I regret to say 
Gm          Bb       F 
   Do you believe me now? 

Eb                 Gm                  F 
   They knew, they knew, they knew the whole time 

That I was onto something 
Eb                 Gm                        F 
   The family, the pure greed, the Christian Chorus line 

They all said nothing 
Eb                   Gm 
  Blood's thick, but nothing like a payroll 
F 
Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul 
Eb                Gm                F 
  You can mark my words that I said it first 
                            Fm     Em  Bb 
In a morning warning, no one  heard 

                 Fm    Em    Bb 
I patched up the crack along the wall 
                   Fm       Em       Bb 
I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying 
                          Fm     Em   Bb 
'Cause that's where I was when I lost it all 

Gm  Bb                F 
    So they killed Cassandra first 

'Cause she feared the worst 
Gm              Bb       F 
   And tried to tell the town 
Gm  Bb                F 
    So they filled my cell with snakes 

I regret to say 
Gm          Bb       F 
   Do you believe me now? 

Eb  Gm        F 
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah 

I was onto something 
Eb Gm     F 
Ah-ah-ah, ah 

They all said nothing 
Eb                 Gm             F 
Blood's thick, but nothing like a payroll 

Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul 
Eb              Gm                F 
You can mark my words that I said it first 
                      Eb          Gm 
In a morning warning, no one heard 
   F                Eb         Gm    F 
No one heard, not a single word  was heard 

Eb                        Gm                   F 
   When the first stone's thrown, there's screaming 

In the streets, there's a raging riot 
Eb                     Gm                   F 
   When it's: Burn the bitch!, they're shrieking 
                               Eb    Gm 
When the truth comes out, it's quiet 
     F 
It's so quiet
