Intro
F# F# F# F#
[Verse 1]
F# B F#
Down in the street they're all singing and shouting
C#/F D#m C#
Staying alive though the city is dead
C#/B F#/A# C#7 F#
Hiding their shame behind hollow laughter
F#/A# B G#7 C#
While you are crying alone in your bed
F# B F#
Pity Cassandra that no one believed you
C#/F D#m C#
But then again you were lost from the start
C#/B F#/A# B/D# F#/C#
Now we must suffer and sell our secrets
B6 C# D#m G#m7 C# F#
Bargain, playing smart, aching in our hearts
[Chorus]
F#/C# C#7
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
F#
Now the last day is dawning
F#/C# C#7
Some of us wanted but none of us could
F#
Listen to words of warning
A#
But on the darkest of nights
D#m A#
Nobody knew how to fight
A#7 D#m
And we were caught in our sleep
C#7
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
F#
You really had the power
C#7
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
F#
Until the final hour
[Verse 2]
F# B F#
So in the morning your ship will be sailing
C#/F D#m C#
Now that your father and sister are gone
C#/B F#/A# C#7 F#
There is no reason for you to linger
F#/A# B G#7 C#
You're grieving deeply but still moving on
F# B F#
You know the future is casting a shadow
C#/F D#m C#
No one else sees it but you know your fate
C#/B F#/A# B/D# F#/C#
Packing your bags, being slow and thorough
B6 F# D#m G#m7 C# F#
Knowing, though you're late, that ship is sure to wait
[Chorus]
F#/C# C#7
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
F#
Now the last day is dawning
F#/C# C#7
Some of us wanted but none of us could
F#
Listen to words of warning
A#
But on the darkest of nights
D#m A#
Nobody knew how to fight
A#7 D#m
And we were caught in our sleep
C#7
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
F#
You really had the power
C#7
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
F#
Until the final hour
[Verse 3]
F# B F#
I watched the ship leaving harbor at sunrise
C#/F D#m C#
Sails almost slack in the cool morning rain
C#/B F#/A# B/D# F#/C#
She stood on deck, just a tiny figure
B6 C# D#m G#m7 C# F#
Rigid and restrained, blue eyes filled with pain
[Chorus]
F#/C# C#7
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
F#
Now the last day is dawning
F#/C# C#7
Some of us wanted but none of us could
F#
Listen to words of warning
A#
But on the darkest of nights
D#m A#
Nobody knew how to fight
A#7 D#m
And we were caught in our sleep
C#7
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
F#
You really had the power
C#7
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
F#
Until the final hour
[Outro]
C#7 C#7 C#7 C#7 F# F# F# F#
I'm sorry Cassandra
C#7 C#7 C#7 C#7 F# F# F# F#
I'm sorry Cassandra
