Verse 1:
            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

Pre-chorus:
Fm          Eb            Bb
   When the first stone's thrown, they're screaming
Fm        Eb                 Bb
   In the streets, there's a raging riot
Fm           Eb        Bb
   When it's "Burn the xxxxx," they're shrieking
Fm          Eb          Bb
   When the truth comes out, it's quiet

Chorus:
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?

Verse 2:
            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?

Chorus:
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?

Bridge:
Eb                    Bb              F
   They knew, they knew, they knew the whole time

That I was onto something
Eb                Bb                       F
   The family, the pure greed, the Christian Chorus line

They all said nothing
Eb             Bb                     F
   Blood's thick but nothing like a payroll

Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul
Eb              Bb                 F
   You can mark my words that I said it first

In the morning warning, no one heard

Fm Eb Bb

Verse 3:
                 Fm        Eb   Bb
I patched 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 lost it all

Chorus:
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?

Bridge:
Eb  Bb        F
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah

I was onto something
Eb  Bb        F
    Ah-ah-ah, ah

They all said nothing
Eb             Bb                     F
 Blood's thick but nothing like a payroll

Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul
Eb               Bb                 F
  You can mark my words that I said it first
                              Eb
In the morning warning, no one heard
Bb       F              Eb        Bb F
   No one heard, not a single word -   - was heard

Outro:
Eb               Bb                           F
  When the first stone's thrown, they're screaming

In the streets, there's a raging riot
Eb                Bb                        F
  When it's "Burn the xxxxx," they're shrieking
                               Eb
When the truth comes out, it's quiet
Bb      F
   It's so quiet
