Cassandra, keep it down
A D
I don't think they can hear you now
A D
Don't think they heard you first time 'round
A D
No they can't hear you, no Cassandra,
A D
Cassandra, it won't make sense
A E
not if you think and think again
A D
But still they do say, life is forgiving
A E
and ends up partnered with beginnings

And daily, you saw it come
A E
and you gave warning, but couldn't run
A D
and so you watched until it was broken
A E
and knew the foresight delays no motion
A D
I know it's awful, I know it's bruising,
F#m E
I know you can't see past the conclusion
A D
but still the world turns upon its axis
F#m E
and we make circles so we can match it
A D
F#m E
And read our lines though we've had no practice

A D
Cassandra, keep it down
A D
I don't think they can hear you now
A D
Don't think they heard you first time 'round
A D
No they can't hear you, there's no answer
A D
And maybe there's something great
F#m E
that gives us meaning, if we wait
A D
but still I'm human, I'm broken-hearted
A D
I see your sundress and your sunglasses
A D
I hear your question, and how you ask it
F#m E
What use is love if it always passes?

What use is love if it always passes?

And though they do say, Life is forgiving,
F#m E
what use is life to those who aren't living?

And though they do say, Life is forgiving,

what use is life to those who aren’t living?
