i don’t think they can hear you now
A D
don’t think they heard you first time ’round

cassandra , it won’t make sense

and daily , you saw it come
A E
and you gave warning , but couldn’t run
A D
and so you watched until it was broken
A E
and knew the foresight delays no motion
A D
i know it’s awful , i know it’s bruising ,
F#m E
i know you can’t see past the conclusion

but still the world turns upon its axis
F#m E
and we make circles so we can match it

A D

and read our lines though we’ve had no practice

i hear your question , and how you ask it
