Fm Eb Bb
I was in my new house placing daydreams
Fm Eb Bb
Patching up the crack along the wall
Fm Eb Bb
I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying
Fm Eb Bb
'Cause that's where I was when I got the call
Fm Eb Bb
When the first stone's thrown, there's screaming
Fm Eb Bb
In the streets, there's a raging riot
Fm Eb Bb
When it's: Burn the bitch!, they're shrieking
Fm Eb Bb
When the truth comes out, it's quiet
Gm Bb F
So they killed Cassandra first
'Cause she feared the worst
Gm Bb F
And tried to tell the town
Gm Bb F
So they filled my cell with snakes
I regret to say
Gm Bb F
Do you believe me now?
Fm Eb Bb
I was in my tower weaving nightmares
Fm Eb Bb
Twisting all my smiles into snarls
Fm Eb Bb
They say what doesn't kill you makes you aware
Fm Eb Bb
What happens if it becomes who you are?
Gm Bb F
So they killed Cassandra first
'Cause she feared the worst
Gm Bb F
And tried to tell the town
Gm Bb F
So they set my life in flames
I regret to say
Gm Bb F
Do you believe me now?
Eb Gm F
They knew, they knew, they knew the whole time
That I was onto something
Eb Gm F
The family, the pure greed, the Christian Chorus line
They all said nothing
Eb Gm
Blood's thick, but nothing like a payroll
F
Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul
Eb Gm F
You can mark my words that I said it first
Fm Em Bb
In a morning warning, no one heard
Fm Em Bb
I patched up the crack along the wall
Fm Em Bb
I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying
Fm Em Bb
'Cause that's where I was when I lost it all
Gm Bb F
So they killed Cassandra first
'Cause she feared the worst
Gm Bb F
And tried to tell the town
Gm Bb F
So they filled my cell with snakes
I regret to say
Gm Bb F
Do you believe me now?
Eb Gm F
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
I was onto something
Eb Gm F
Ah-ah-ah, ah
They all said nothing
Eb Gm F
Blood's thick, but nothing like a payroll
Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul
Eb Gm F
You can mark my words that I said it first
Eb Gm
In a morning warning, no one heard
F Eb Gm F
No one heard, not a single word was heard
Eb Gm F
When the first stone's thrown, there's screaming
In the streets, there's a raging riot
Eb Gm F
When it's: Burn the bitch!, they're shrieking
Eb Gm
When the truth comes out, it's quiet
F
It's so quiet
