[Verse 1] 
FmEbBb I was in my new house placing daydreams
FmEbBb Patching up the crack along the wall
FmEbBb I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying
FmEb Bb Cause that's where I was when I got the call
 [Pre-Chorus] 
FmEbBb When the first stone's thrown, they're screaming
FmEbBb In the streets, there's a raging riot
FmEbBb When it's ""Burn the bitch"", they're shrieking
FmEbBb When the truth comes out, it's quiet
 [Chorus] 
GmBbF So, they killed Cassandra first 'cause she feared the worst
GmBbF And tried to tell the town
GmBbF So, they filled my cell with snakes, I regret to say
GmBbF Do you believe me now?
 [Verse 2] 
FmEbBb I was in my tower weaving nightmares
FmEbBb Twisting all my smiles into snarls
FmEbBb They say, ""What doesn't kill you makes you aware""
FmEb Bb What happens if it becomes who you are?
 [Chorus] 
GmBbF So, they killed Cassandra first 'cause she feared the worst
GmBbF And tried to tell the town
GmBbF So, they set my life in flames, I regret to say
GmBbF Do you believe me now?
 [Bridge] 
EbBbF They knew, they knew, they knew the whole time
That I was onto something 
EbBbF The family, the pure greed, the Christian chorus line
They all said nothing 
EbBbF Blood's thick but nothing like a payroll
Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul 
EbBbF You can mark my words that I said it first
In the morning warning no one heard [Verse 3] 
FmEbBb I patched up the crack along the wall
FmEbBb I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying
FmEbBb Cause that's where I was when I lost it all
 [Chorus] 
GmBbF So, they killed Cassandra first 'cause she feared the worst
GmBbF And tried to tell the town
GmBbF So, they filled my cell with snakes, I regret to say
GmBbF Do you believe me now?
 [Bridge] 
EbBbF Ah-ah-ah, I was onto something
EbBbF Ah-ah-ah, they all said nothing
EbBbF Blood's thick but nothing like a payroll
Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul 
EbBbF You can mark my words that I said it first
Eb In the morning warning no one heard
BbFEbBb F No one heard, not a single word was heard
 [Outro] 
EbBbF When the first stone's thrown, they're screaming
In the streets, there's a raging riot 
EbBbF When it's ""Burn the bitch"", they're shrieking
Eb When the truth comes out, it's quiet
BbF
