Verse 1:
Fm Eb Bb
I was in my new house placing daydreams
Fm Eb Bb
Patching up the crack along the wall

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

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

Twisting all my smiles into snarls

What happens if it becomes who you are?
Chorus:
Gm Bb F
So, they killed Cassandra first 'cause she feared the worst

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

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
