[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
Fm Eb Bb
When the first stone's thrown,
there's screamin'
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
[Chorus]
Gm Bb
So,
F
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
They say,
Fm Eb Bb
"What doesn't kill you makes you aware"
Fm Eb Bb
What happens if it becomes who you are?
[Chorus]
Gm Bb
So,
F
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 Gm
They knew, they knew,
F
they knew the whole time
That I was onto somethin'
Eb Gm
The family, the pure greed,
F
the Christian chorus line
They all said nothin'
Eb
Blood's thick,
Gm F
but nothin' 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
Fm Eb Bb
In a mourning warning, no one heard
[Verse 3]
Bb 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
So,
F
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?
[Bridge]
Eb Gm F
Ah, ahahah
I was onto somethin'
Eb Gm F
Ah, ahahah
They all said nothin'
Eb Gm F
Blood's thick but nothin' 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 mourning warning, no one heard
F
No one heard,
Eb Gm F
not a single word was heard
[Outro]
Eb Gm
When the first stone's thrown,
F
there's screamin'
In the streets, there's a raging riot
Eb Gm
When it's "Burn the bitch,
F
" they're shrieking
Eb Gm
When the truth comes out, it's quiet
F
It's so quiet
