[Intro]

C C C C

[Verse 1]

C F C

Down in the street they're all singing and shouting

G/B Am G

Staying alive though the city is dead

G/F C/E G7 C

Hiding their shame behind hollow laughter

C/E F D7 G

While you are crying alone in your bed

C F C

Pity Cassandra that no one believed you

G/B Am G

But then again you were lost from the start

G/F C/E F/A C/G

Now we must suffer and sell our secrets

F6 G Am Dm7 G C

Bargain, playing smart, aching in our hearts

[Chorus]

C/G G7

Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood

Now the last day is dawning

C/G G7

Some of us wanted but none of us could

Listen to words of warning

But on the darkest of nights

Am E

Nobody knew how to fight

E7 Am

And we were caught in our sleep

Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe

You really had the power

I only saw it as dreams you would weave

Until the final hour

[Verse 2]

C F C

So in the morning your ship will be sailing

G/B Am G

Now that your father and sister are gone

G/F C/E G7 C

There is no reason for you to linger

C/E F D7 G

You're grieving deeply but still moving on

C F C

You know the future is casting a shadow

G/B Am G

No one else sees it but you know your fate

G/F C/E F/A C/G

Packing your bags, being slow and thorough

F6 C Am Dm7 G C

Knowing, though you're late, that ship is sure to wait

[Chorus]

C/G G7

Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood

Now the last day is dawning

C/G G7

Some of us wanted but none of us could

Listen to words of warning

But on the darkest of nights

Am E

Nobody knew how to fight

E7 Am

And we were caught in our sleep

Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe

You really had the power

I only saw it as dreams you would weave

Until the final hour

[Verse 3]

C F C

I watched the ship leaving harbor at sunrise

G/B Am G

Sails almost slack in the cool morning rain

G/F C/E F/A C/G

She stood on deck, just a tiny figure

F6 G Am Dm7 G C

Rigid and restrained, blue eyes filled with pain

[Chorus]

C/G G7

Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood

Now the last day is dawning

C/G G7

Some of us wanted but none of us could

Listen to words of warning

But on the darkest of nights

Am E

Nobody knew how to fight

E7 Am

And we were caught in our sleep

Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe

You really had the power

I only saw it as dreams you would weave

Until the final hour
