[Verse 1]
B E B
Down in the street they're all singing and shouting
F#/A# G#m F#
Staying alive though the city is dead
F#/E B/D# F#7 B
Hiding their shame behind hollow laughter
B/D# E C#7 F#
While you are crying alone in your bed
B E B
Pity Cassandra that no one believed you
F#/A# G#m F#
But then again you were lost from the start
F#/E B/D# E/G# B/F#
Now we must suffer and sell our secrets
E6 F# G#m C#m7 F# B
Bargain, playing smart, aching in our hearts
[Chorus]
B/F# F#7
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
B
Now the last day is dawning
B/F# F#7
Some of us wanted but none of us could
B
Listen to words of warning
D#
But on the darkest of nights
G#m D#
Nobody knew how to fight
D#7 G#m
And we were caught in our sleep
F#7
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
B
You really had the power
F#7
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
B
Until the final hour
[Verse 2]
B E B
So in the morning your ship will be sailing
F#/A# G#m F#
Now that your father and sister are gone
F#/E B/D# F#7 B
There is no reason for you to linger
B/D# E C#7 F#
You're grieving deeply but still moving on
B E B
You know the future is casting a shadow
F#/A# G#m F#
No one else sees it but you know your fate
F#/E B/D# E/G# B/F#
Packing your bags, being slow and thorough
E6 B G#m C#m7 F# B
Knowing, though you're late, that ship is sure to wait
[Chorus]
B/F# F#7
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
B
Now the last day is dawning
B/F# F#7
Some of us wanted but none of us could
B
Listen to words of warning
D#
But on the darkest of nights
G#m D#
Nobody knew how to fight
D#7 G#m
And we were caught in our sleep
F#7
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
B
You really had the power
F#7
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
B
Until the final hour
[Verse 3]
B E B
I watched the ship leaving harbor at sunrise
F#/A# G#m F#
Sails almost slack in the cool morning rain
F#/E B/D# E/G# B/F#
She stood on deck, just a tiny figure
E6 F# G#m C#m7 F# B
Rigid and restrained, blue eyes filled with pain
[Chorus]
B/F# F#7
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
B
Now the last day is dawning
B/F# F#7
Some of us wanted but none of us could
B
Listen to words of warning
D#
But on the darkest of nights
G#m D#
Nobody knew how to fight
D#7 G#m
And we were caught in our sleep
F#7
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
B
You really had the power
F#7
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
B
Until the final hour
[Outro]
F#7 F#7 F#7 F#7 B B B B
I'm sorry Cassandra
F#7 F#7 F#7 F#7 B B B B
I'm sorry Cassandra
