C Down in the street they’re all F singing and C shouting
C Staying a-G/B live though the Am city is G dead
G/F Hiding their C/E shame behind G7 hollow C laughter
While C/E you are F crying a-D/F# lone in your G bed

C Pity Cassandra that F no one be-C lieved you
C But then a-G/B gain you were Am lost from the G start
G/F Now we must C/E suffer and Dm7/A sell our C/G secrets
Dm Bargain…. G playing Am smart
Dm Aching G in our C hearts

Sorry Cassandra I G7 misunderstood
Now the last day is C dawning
Some of us wanted but G7 none of us could
Listen to words of C warning
But on the darkest of E nights,
Nobody Am knew how to E fight
And we were caught in our Am sleep
Sorry Cassandra I G7 didn’t believe
You really had the C power
I only saw it as G7 dreams you would weave
Until the final C hour

C So in the morning your F ship will be C sailing
C Now that your G/B father and Am sister are G gone
G/F There is no C/E reason for G7 you to C linger
You’re C/E grieving F deeply but D/F# still moving G on

C You know the future is F casting a C shadow
C No one else G/B sees it but Am you know your G fate
G/F Packing your C/E bags, being Dm7/A slow and C/G thorough
Dm Knowing… G though you’re Am late
That Dm ship is G sure to C wait

Sorry Cassandra I G7 misunderstood
Now the last day is C dawning
Some of us wanted but G7 none of us could
Listen to words of C warning
But on the darkest of E nights,
Nobody Am knew how to E fight
And we were caught in our Am sleep
Sorry Cassandra I G7 didn’t believe
You really had the C power
I only saw it as G7 dreams you would weave
Until the final C hour

C I watched the ship leaving F harbor at C sunrise
C Sails almost G/B slack in the Am cool morning G rain
G/F She stood on C/E deck, just a Dm7/A tiny C/G figure
Dm Rigid… G and res-Am trained
Dm blue eyes G filled with C pain

Sorry Cassandra I G7 misunderstood
Now the last day is C dawning
Some of us wanted but G7 none of us could
Listen to words of C warning
But on the darkest of E nights,
Nobody Am knew how to E fight
And we were caught in our Am sleep
Sorry Cassandra I G7 didn’t believe
You really had the C power
I only saw it as G7 dreams you would weave
Until the final C hour G7 C E Am E Am (desap.)
