Intro
G G G G
[Verse 1]
G C G
Down in the street they're all singing and shouting
D/F# Em D
Staying alive though the city is dead
D/C G/B D7 G
Hiding their shame behind hollow laughter
G/B C A7 D
While you are crying alone in your bed
G C G
Pity Cassandra that no one believed you
D/F# Em D
But then again you were lost from the start
D/C G/B C/E G/D
Now we must suffer and sell our secrets
C6 D Em Am7 D G
Bargain, playing smart, aching in our hearts
[Chorus]
G/D D7
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
G
Now the last day is dawning
G/D D7
Some of us wanted but none of us could
G
Listen to words of warning
B
But on the darkest of nights
Em B
Nobody knew how to fight
B7 Em
And we were caught in our sleep
D7
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
G
You really had the power
D7
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/F# Em D
Now that your father and sister are gone
D/C G/B D7 G
There is no reason for you to linger
G/B C A7 D
You're grieving deeply but still moving on
G C G
You know the future is casting a shadow
D/F# Em D
No one else sees it but you know your fate
D/C G/B C/E G/D
Packing your bags, being slow and thorough
C6 G Em Am7 D G
Knowing, though you're late, that ship is sure to wait
[Chorus]
G/D D7
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
G
Now the last day is dawning
G/D D7
Some of us wanted but none of us could
G
Listen to words of warning
B
But on the darkest of nights
Em B
Nobody knew how to fight
B7 Em
And we were caught in our sleep
D7
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
G
You really had the power
D7
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/F# Em D
Sails almost slack in the cool morning rain
D/C G/B C/E G/D
She stood on deck, just a tiny figure
C6 D Em Am7 D G
Rigid and restrained, blue eyes filled with pain
[Chorus]
G/D D7
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
G
Now the last day is dawning
G/D D7
Some of us wanted but none of us could
G
Listen to words of warning
B
But on the darkest of nights
Em B
Nobody knew how to fight
B7 Em
And we were caught in our sleep
D7
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
G
You really had the power
D7
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
G
Until the final hour
[Outro]
D7 D7 D7 D7 G G G G
I'm sorry Cassandra
D7 D7 D7 D7 G G G G
I'm sorry Cassandra
