[Intro]
C C C C
[Verse 1]
C F C
Down in the street they're all singing and shouting
G/B Am G
Staying alive though the city is dead
G/F C/E G7 C
Hiding their shame behind hollow laughter
C/E F D7 G
While you are crying alone in your bed
C F C
Pity Cassandra that no one believed you
G/B Am G
But then again you were lost from the start
G/F C/E F/A C/G
Now we must suffer and sell our secrets
F6 G Am Dm7 G C
Bargain, playing smart, aching in our hearts
[Chorus]
C/G G7
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
C
Now the last day is dawning
C/G G7
Some of us wanted but none of us could
C
Listen to words of warning
E
But on the darkest of nights
Am E
Nobody knew how to fight
E7 Am
And we were caught in our sleep
G7
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
C
You really had the power
G7
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
C
Until the final hour
[Verse 2]
C F C
So in the morning your ship will be sailing
G/B Am G
Now that your father and sister are gone
G/F C/E G7 C
There is no reason for you to linger
C/E F D7 G
You're grieving deeply but still moving on
C F C
You know the future is casting a shadow
G/B Am G
No one else sees it but you know your fate
G/F C/E F/A C/G
Packing your bags, being slow and thorough
F6 C Am Dm7 G C
Knowing, though you're late, that ship is sure to wait
[Chorus]
C/G G7
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
C
Now the last day is dawning
C/G G7
Some of us wanted but none of us could
C
Listen to words of warning
E
But on the darkest of nights
Am E
Nobody knew how to fight
E7 Am
And we were caught in our sleep
G7
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
C
You really had the power
G7
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
C
Until the final hour
[Verse 3]
C F C
I watched the ship leaving harbor at sunrise
G/B Am G
Sails almost slack in the cool morning rain
G/F C/E F/A C/G
She stood on deck, just a tiny figure
F6 G Am Dm7 G C
Rigid and restrained, blue eyes filled with pain
[Chorus]
C/G G7
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
C
Now the last day is dawning
C/G G7
Some of us wanted but none of us could
C
Listen to words of warning
E
But on the darkest of nights
Am E
Nobody knew how to fight
E7 Am
And we were caught in our sleep
G7
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
C
You really had the power
G7
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
C
Until the final hour
[Outro]
G7 G7 G7 G7 C C C C
I'm sorry Cassandra
G7 G7 G7 G7 C C C C
I'm sorry Cassandra
