Cassandra

Capo ♪ fret 3

Dm C G
i was in my new house placing daydreams..
Dm C G
patching up the crack along.. the wall..
Dm C G
i pass it and lose track of what i’m saying..
Dm C G
cause that’s where i was when i got the call..

Dm C G
when the first stone’s thrown there’s screamin’..
Dm C G
in the streets there’s a ragin’ riot..
Dm C G
when it’s, “burn the bitch”, they’re shrieking..
Dm C G
when the truth comes out it’s quiet..

Reff :
Em G D
so they killed cassandra first
cause she feared the worst..
Em G D
and tried to tell the town..

Em G D
so they filled my cell with snakes
i regret to say..
Em G D
do you believe me now..?

Dm C G
i was in my tower weaving nightmares..
Dm C G
twisting all my smiles in..to snarls..
Dm C G
they say what doesn’t kill you makes you aware..
Dm C G
what happens if it becomes who.. you are..?

Reff :
Em G D
so they killed cassandra first
cause she feared the worst..
Em G D
and tried to tell the town..

Em G D
so they set my life in flames
i regret to say..
Em G D
do you believe me now..?

C Em
they knew, they knew,
D
they knew the whole time
that i was onto somethin’..
C Em
the family, the pure greed,
D
the christian chorus line..
they all said nothin’

C Em D
blood’s thick, but nothin’ like a payroll..
bet they never spared a prayer for my soul..
C Em D
you can mark my words that i said it first
Dm C G
in a mourning warning no one heard..

Dm C G
i patched up the crack along.. the wall..
Dm C G
i pass it and lose track of what i’m saying..
Dm C G
cause that’s where i was when i lost.. it all..

C Em D
(ha a.. a a..) i was onto somethin’..
C Em D
(ha a.. a a..) they all said nothin’..

C Em D
blood’s thick, but nothin’ like a payroll..
bet they never spared a prayer for my soul..
C Em D
you can mark my words that i said it first
C
in a mourning warning no one heard..
Em D
no one heard..
C Em D
not a single word.. was heard..

C Em D
when the first stone’s thrown there’s screamin’..
in the streets there’s a ragin’ riot..
C Em D
when it’s “burn the bitch”, they’re shriekin’..
C
when the truth comes out it’s quiet..
Em D
it’s so.. quiet
