Cassandra Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C]

[Verse 1]
Down in [C]the street they're
all [F]singing [C]and shouting
Staying [G]alive though [Am]the city is [G]dead
Hiding their [C]shame behind
[G]hollow [C]laughter
While you are [F]crying [D]alone on your [G]bed

[Verse 2]
[C]Pity Cassandra, that [F]no one be[C]lieved you
But then [G]again,
you [Am]were lost from [G]the start
Now we [C]must suffer and [Am]sell our [C]secrets
[F]Bar[Dm]gain, [G]playing [Am]smart,
[Dm]aching [G]in our [C]hearts

[Verse 3]
Sorry Cassandra, I [G]misunderstood
Now the last day is [C]dawning
Some of us wanted [G]but
none of us would
Listen to words of [C]warning
But on the darkest of [E]nights
Nobody knew [Am]how to f[E]ight
And we were caught in [Am]our sleep
Sorry Cassandra, I [G]didn't believe
You really had the [C]power
I only saw it as [G]dreams you would weave
Until the final [C]hour

[Verse 4]
[C]So in the morning, [F]your ship will [C]be sailing
Now that your [G]father and [Am]sister are [G]gone
There is no [C]reason for you [G]to [C]linger
You're grieving [F]deeply,
but [D]still moving [G]on

[Verse 5]
[F]You know the [C]fu ture is [F]casting a [C]shadow
No one else [G]sees it,
[Am]but you [F]know your [G]fate
Packing [C]your bags, being
[Am]slow [F]and tho[C]rough
[F]Knowing, [Dm]thoug[G]h you're late,[Am]
[Dm]that ship is [G]sure to [C]wait

[Verse 6]
Sorry Cassandra, I [G]misunderstood
Now the last day [C]is dawning
Some of us wanted,
[G]but none of us would
Listen to words of [C]warning
But on the darkest of [E]nights
Nobody [Am]knew how to fight
[E]And we were caught in our[Am] sleep
Sorry Cassandra, I [G]didn't believe
You really had the [C]power
I only saw it [G]as dreams you would weave
Until the final [C]hour

[Verse 7]
[C]I watched the ship leaving
[F]harbor [C]at sunrise
Sails almost [G]slack [Am]in the cool morning [G]rain
She stood on deck[C], just a t[Am]iny figu[C]re
[F]Rigid [G]and re[Am]strained,
[Dm]blue eyes [G]filled with [C]pain

[Verse 8]
Sorry Cassandra, I [G]misunderstood
Now the last day is [C]dawning
Some of us wanted,
[G]but none of us would
Listen to words of [C]warning
But on the darkest of night[E]s
Nobody knew [Am]how to f[E]ight
And we were caught in our [Am]sleep
Sorry Cassandra, I [G]didn't believe
You really had the [C]power
I only saw it as [G]dreams you would weave
Until the final [C]hour

[Verse 9]
[C]I'm [G]sorry, Cas[C]sandra

[Outro 1]
I'm sorry, Cassandra
