Cassandra chords by Florence + The Machine

Chords with lyrics

🎸 Intro:

C minorCm



🎸 Verse 1:
  C minorCm
I used to see the future and now I see nothin'
They cut out my eyes and sent me home packing
  FF              F minorFm
To pace around the kitchen for scraps of inspiration
C minorCm
Crying like Cassandra
I
G+G
Used to tell the future, but they cut out my tongue
   FF             F minorFm
And left me doing laundry to thinkin' what I've done
      C minorCm A minorAm G+G    FF
It wasn't me, it was the song

🎸 Verse 2:
C minorCm
I used to move into the future, bring it all back
Let it bleed through my fingers, a treasure in my hands
Not ?: when there's no one about
'Cause they put crosses on the doors to try and keep me out
    C minorCm        Bb majorBb
With gard ns of the grove
                A minorAm  G#G#
And I run in the middl? of the road (Ooh)

🎸 Chorus:
        C minorCm        Eb MajorEb
Well, can you see me? I cannot see you
       G#G#
Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view
      Eb MajorEb       G#G#
In this blindness I'm condemned to
        C minorCm        Eb MajorEb
Well, can you hear me? I cannot hear you
        G#G#
Every song I thought I knew
I've been deafened to
       Eb MajorEb       G+G   C minorCm
And there's no one left to sing to

🎸 Verse 3:
     C minorCm
All the gods have been domesticated
And Heaven is now overrated
And the churches, they all closed their doors
But you can take your complaints straight to the Lord
C minorCm
I try to still look where they wander on the work
       Bb majorBb
As the roses bloom
           A minorAm         G#G# G+G
And the riot plants, they play me and you

🎸 Chorus:
        C minorCm        Eb MajorEb
Well, can you see me? I cannot see you
       G#G#
Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view
      Eb MajorEb       G#G#
In this blindness I'm condemned to
        C minorCm        Eb MajorEb
Well, can you hear me? I cannot hear you
        G#G#
Every song I thought I knew
I've been deafened to
       Eb MajorEb       G+G   C minorCm
And there's no one left to sing to

🎸 Bridge:
C minorCm
Ooh
Bb majorBb
Ooh
A minorAm  G#G# G+G
Ooh, oh
C minorCm
Ooh, ooh, ooh (Take me back)
             Bb majorBb
Ooh, ooh, ooh (Oh, the drunken gods oversee me)
         A minorAm       G#G#        G+G
Ooh, ooh, ooh (I must be their favourite daughter)

🎸 Chorus:
        C minorCm        Eb MajorEb
Well, can you see me? I cannot see you
       G#G#
Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view
       C minorCm           Eb MajorEb
And if I run fast and back, could I break apart
      G#G#                  Eb MajorEb  G+G
As empires tumble and cathedrals flatten in my heart?
