[Verse 1] CFC Down in the street they're all singing and shouting G/BAmG Staying alive though the city is dead G/FC/EG7C Hiding their shame behind hollow laughter C/EFD7G While you are crying alone in your bed CFC Pity Cassandra that no one believed you G/BAmG But then again you were lost from the start G/FC/EF/AC/G Now we must suffer and sell our secrets F6GAmDm7GC Bargain, playing smart, aching in our hearts
[Chorus] C/GG7 Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood C Now the last day is dawning C/GG7 Some of us wanted but none of us could C Listen to words of warning E But on the darkest of nights AmE Nobody knew how to fight E7Am And we were caught in our sleep G7 Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe C You really had the power G7 I only saw it as dreams you would weave C Until the final hour
[Verse 2] CFC So in the morning your ship will be sailing G/BAmG Now that your father and sister are gone G/FC/EG7C There is no reason for you to linger C/EFD7G You're grieving deeply but still moving on CFC You know the future is casting a shadow G/BAmG No one else sees it but you know your fate G/FC/EF/AC/G Packing your bags, being slow and thorough F6CAmDm7GC Knowing, though you're late, that ship is sure to wait
[Chorus] C/GG7 Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood C Now the last day is dawning C/GG7 Some of us wanted but none of us could C Listen to words of warning E But on the darkest of nights AmE Nobody knew how to fight E7Am And we were caught in our sleep G7 Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe C You really had the power G7 I only saw it as dreams you would weave C Until the final hour
[Verse 3] CFC I watched the ship leaving harbor at sunrise G/BAmG Sails almost slack in the cool morning rain G/FC/EF/AC/G She stood on deck, just a tiny figure F6GAmDm7GC Rigid and restrained, blue eyes filled with pain
[Chorus] C/GG7 Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood C Now the last day is dawning C/GG7 Some of us wanted but none of us could C Listen to words of warning E But on the darkest of nights AmE Nobody knew how to fight E7Am And we were caught in our sleep G7 Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe C You really had the power G7 I only saw it as dreams you would weave C Until the final hour
