Intro
C# C# C# C#
[Verse 1]
C# F# C#
Down in the street they're all singing and shouting
G#/C A#m G#
Staying alive though the city is dead
G#/F# C#/F G#7 C#
Hiding their shame behind hollow laughter
C#/F F# D#7 G#
While you are crying alone in your bed
C# F# C#
Pity Cassandra that no one believed you
G#/C A#m G#
But then again you were lost from the start
G#/F# C#/F F#/A# C#/G#
Now we must suffer and sell our secrets
F#6 G# A#m D#m7 G# C#
Bargain, playing smart, aching in our hearts
[Chorus]
C#/G# G#7
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
C#
Now the last day is dawning
C#/G# G#7
Some of us wanted but none of us could
C#
Listen to words of warning
F
But on the darkest of nights
A#m F
Nobody knew how to fight
F7 A#m
And we were caught in our sleep
G#7
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
C#
You really had the power
G#7
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#/C A#m G#
Now that your father and sister are gone
G#/F# C#/F G#7 C#
There is no reason for you to linger
C#/F F# D#7 G#
You're grieving deeply but still moving on
C# F# C#
You know the future is casting a shadow
G#/C A#m G#
No one else sees it but you know your fate
G#/F# C#/F F#/A# C#/G#
Packing your bags, being slow and thorough
F#6 C# A#m D#m7 G# C#
Knowing, though you're late, that ship is sure to wait
[Chorus]
C#/G# G#7
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
C#
Now the last day is dawning
C#/G# G#7
Some of us wanted but none of us could
C#
Listen to words of warning
F
But on the darkest of nights
A#m F
Nobody knew how to fight
F7 A#m
And we were caught in our sleep
G#7
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
C#
You really had the power
G#7
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#/C A#m G#
Sails almost slack in the cool morning rain
G#/F# C#/F F#/A# C#/G#
She stood on deck, just a tiny figure
F#6 G# A#m D#m7 G# C#
Rigid and restrained, blue eyes filled with pain
[Chorus]
C#/G# G#7
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
C#
Now the last day is dawning
C#/G# G#7
Some of us wanted but none of us could
C#
Listen to words of warning
F
But on the darkest of nights
A#m F
Nobody knew how to fight
F7 A#m
And we were caught in our sleep
G#7
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
C#
You really had the power
G#7
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
C#
Until the final hour
[Outro]
G#7 G#7 G#7 G#7 C# C# C# C#
I'm sorry Cassandra
G#7 G#7 G#7 G#7 C# C# C# C#
I'm sorry Cassandra
