Capo 3
1
D#mC#G#
I was in my new house placing daydreams
D#mC#G#
Patching up the crack along the wall
D#mC#G#
I pass it and lose track of what Iʼm saying
D#mC#G#
ʼCause thatʼs where I was when I got the call
D#mC#G#
When the first stoneʼs thrown, theyʼre screaming
D#mC#G#
In the streets, thereʼs a raging riot
D#mC#G#
When itʼs "Burn the bitch," theyʼre shrieking
D#mC#G#
When the truth comes out, itʼs quiet
FmG#D#
So, they killed Cassandra first ʼcause she feared the worst
FmG#D#
And tried to tell the town
FmG#D#
So, they filled my cell with snakes, I regret to say
FmG#D#
Do you believe me now?
D#mC#G#
I was in my tower weaving nightmares
D#mC#G#
Twisting all my smiles into snarls
D#mC#G#
They say, "What doesnʼt kill you makes you aware"
D#mC#G#
What happens if it becomes who you are?
FmG#D#
So, they killed Cassandra first ʼcause she feared the worst
FmG#D#
And tried to tell the town
FmG#D#
So, they set my life in flames, I regret to say
FmG#D#
Do you believe me now?
C#FmD#
They knew, they knew, they knew the whole time
That I was onto something
C#FmD#
The family, the pure greed, the Christian chorus line
They all said nothing
C#Fm
Bloodʼs thick but nothing like a payroll
D#
Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul
C#FmD#
You can mark my words that I said it first
D#mC#G#
In a morning warning, no one heard
D#mC#G#
I patched up the crack along the wall
D#mC#G#
I pass it and lose track of what Iʼm saying
D#mC#G#
ʼCause thatʼs where I was when I lost it all
FmG#D#
So, they killed Cassandra first ʼcause she feared the worst
FmG#D#
And tried to tell the town
FmG#D#
So, they filled my cell with snakes, I regret to say
FmG#D#
Do you believe me now?
C#FmD#
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
I was onto something
C#FmD#
Ah-ah-ah, ah
They all said nothing
C#FmD#
Bloodʼs thick but nothing like a payroll
Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul
C#FmD#
You can mark my words that I said it first
C#Fm
In a morning warning, no one heard
D#C#FmD#
No one heard, not a single word was heard
C#FmD#
When the first stoneʼs thrown, theyʼre screaming
In the streets, thereʼs a raging riot
C#FmD#
When itʼs "Burn the bitch," theyʼre shrieking
C#FmD#
When the truth comes out, itʼs quiet
