Intro
G# G# G# G#
[Verse 1]
G# C# G#
Down in the street they're all singing and shouting
D#/G Fm D#
Staying alive though the city is dead
D#/C# G#/C D#7 G#
Hiding their shame behind hollow laughter
G#/C C# A#7 D#
While you are crying alone in your bed
G# C# G#
Pity Cassandra that no one believed you
D#/G Fm D#
But then again you were lost from the start
D#/C# G#/C C#/F G#/D#
Now we must suffer and sell our secrets
C#6 D# Fm A#m7 D# G#
Bargain, playing smart, aching in our hearts
[Chorus]
G#/D# D#7
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
G#
Now the last day is dawning
G#/D# D#7
Some of us wanted but none of us could
G#
Listen to words of warning
C
But on the darkest of nights
Fm C
Nobody knew how to fight
C7 Fm
And we were caught in our sleep
D#7
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
G#
You really had the power
D#7
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
G#
Until the final hour
[Verse 2]
G# C# G#
So in the morning your ship will be sailing
D#/G Fm D#
Now that your father and sister are gone
D#/C# G#/C D#7 G#
There is no reason for you to linger
G#/C C# A#7 D#
You're grieving deeply but still moving on
G# C# G#
You know the future is casting a shadow
D#/G Fm D#
No one else sees it but you know your fate
D#/C# G#/C C#/F G#/D#
Packing your bags, being slow and thorough
C#6 G# Fm A#m7 D# G#
Knowing, though you're late, that ship is sure to wait
[Chorus]
G#/D# D#7
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
G#
Now the last day is dawning
G#/D# D#7
Some of us wanted but none of us could
G#
Listen to words of warning
C
But on the darkest of nights
Fm C
Nobody knew how to fight
C7 Fm
And we were caught in our sleep
D#7
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
G#
You really had the power
D#7
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
G#
Until the final hour
[Verse 3]
G# C# G#
I watched the ship leaving harbor at sunrise
D#/G Fm D#
Sails almost slack in the cool morning rain
D#/C# G#/C C#/F G#/D#
She stood on deck, just a tiny figure
C#6 D# Fm A#m7 D# G#
Rigid and restrained, blue eyes filled with pain
[Chorus]
G#/D# D#7
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
G#
Now the last day is dawning
G#/D# D#7
Some of us wanted but none of us could
G#
Listen to words of warning
C
But on the darkest of nights
Fm C
Nobody knew how to fight
C7 Fm
And we were caught in our sleep
D#7
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
G#
You really had the power
D#7
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
G#
Until the final hour
[Outro]
D#7 D#7 D#7 D#7 G# G# G# G#
I'm sorry Cassandra
D#7 D#7 D#7 D#7 G# G# G# G#
I'm sorry Cassandra
