🎶 Cassandra

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

[Bb]When the first stone's thrown, [Em]there's screaming
[Bb]In the streets, there's a [Db]raging riot
[Bb]When it's "Burn the b!tch, "[Em] they're shrieking
[Bb]When the truth comes [Db]out, it's quiet

[Bb]So, they killed Cassandra first 'cause [Em]she feared the worst
And tried to tell the town
[Bb]So, they filled my cell with snakes, I regret to say
[Em]Do you believe me now?

[Bb]I was in my tower weaving [Em]nightmares
[Bb]Twisting all my smiles [Db]into snarls
[Bb]They say, "What doesn't kill you makes you [Em]aware"
[Bb]What happens if it becomes [Db]who you are?

[Bb]So, they killed Cassandra first 'cause [Em]she feared the worst
And tried to tell the town
[Bb]So, they set my life in flames, I regret to say
[Db]Do you believe me now?

[Bb]They knew, they knew, they knew the [Em]whole time
That I was onto something
[Bb]The family, the pure greed, the Christian chorus [Db]line
They all said nothing
[Bb]Blood's thick but nothing like a [Em]payroll
[Bb]Bet they never spared a [Db]prayer for my soul
[Bb]You can mark my words that [Em]I said it first
[Bb]In a morning warning, [Db]no one heard

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

[Bb]So, they killed Cassandra first 'cause she [Em]feared the worst
And tried to tell the town
[Bb]So, they filled my cell with snakes, [Em]I regret to say
Do you believe me now?

[Bb]Ahh-ahh
[Em]I was onto something
[Bb]Ahh-ahh
[Em]They all said nothing
[Bb]Blood's thick but nothing like a payroll
[Db]Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul
[Bb]You can mark my words that I said it first
[Em]In a morning warning, no one heard
[Bb]No one heard
[Db]Not a single word was [Bb]heard

[Bb]When the first stone's thrown, there's screaming
[Em]In the streets, there's a raging riot
[Bb]When it's "Burn the bitch, " they're shrieking
[Db]When the truth comes out, it's quiet
[Bb]It's so quiet⠀
