🎶 Cassandra

I [A#]used to see the future and now I see nothin'
They [A#]cut out my eyes and sent me home packin'
[Em]To pace around the kitchen for [Fbm]scraps of inspiration
[A#]Cryin' like Cassandra, I
[Db]Used to tell the future, but they cut out my tongue
And [Em]left me doin' laundry to [Fbm]thinkin' what I've done
It wasn't [A#] [Eb] [Bb]me
It [Db]was the [Em]song

I used to [C5]move into the future, bring it all back
Let it [C5]bleed through my fingers, a treasure in my hands
Now I [C5]creep out when there's no one about
'Cause they put [C5]crosses on the doors to try and keep me out
With [G]gardеns of the [D#m]grove
And I run in the middlе of the [F/A]road [Gm](Ooh)

[G7]Well, can you see [G]me?
I cannot see [E#m]you
Everything I [Gm]thought I knew has fallen out of view
In this [E#m]blindness I'm [G7]condemned to
Well, can you hear [G]me?
I cannot hear [E#m]you
Every song I [Gm]thought I knew, I've been deafened to
And there's [E#m]no one left to [G7]sing [G]to

All the [G]gods have been domesticated
And [G]Heaven is now overrated
And the [G]churches, they all closed their doors
Well, you can [G]take your complaints straight to the Lord
I try to still look where they [G]wander on the work
As the roses [D#m]bloom
And the riot plants, they're [F/A]plainly in [Gm]view

[G7]Well, can you see [G]me?
I cannot see [E#m]you
Everything I [Gm]thought I knew has fallen out of view
In this [E#m]blindness I'm [G7]condemned to
Well, can you hear [G]me?
I cannot hear [E#m]you
Every song I [Gm]thought I knew, I've been deafened to
And there's [E#m]no one left to [G7]sing to

[G]Ooh
[D#m]Ooh
[F/A]Ooh, [Gm] [G7]oh
[G]Ooh, ooh, ooh (Take me back)
[D#m]Ooh, ooh, ooh (Oh, the drunken gods oversweeten)
[F/A]Ooh, ooh, ooh [Gm](I must be their favourite daughter)

[G7]Well, can you see [G]me?
I cannot see [E#m]you
Everything I [Gm]thought I knew has fallen out of view
And if I run [G]fast enough
Could I [E#m]break apart
As empires [Gm]tumble and cathedrals flatten in my [E#m] [G7]heart?⠀
