This version uses a capo on the 1st fret. Dm A D I was in my new house placing daydreams Dm A D Patching up the crack along the wall Dm A D I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying Dm A D 'Cause that's where I was when I got the call Dm A D When the first stone's thrown, they're screaming Dm A D In the streets, there's a raging riot Dm A D When it's "Burn the bitch," they're shrieking Dm A D When the truth comes out, it's quiet
Am D D So, they killed Cassandra first 'cause she feared the worst Am D D And tried to tell the town Am D D So, they filled my cell with snakes, I regret to say Am D D Do you believe me now? Dm A D I was in my tower weaving nightmares Dm A D Twisting all my smiles into snarls Dm A D They say, "What doesn't kill you makes you aware" Dm A D What happens if it becomes who you are? Am D D So, they killed Cassandra first 'cause she feared the worst Am D D And tried to tell the town Am D D So, they set my life in flames, I regret to say Am D D Do you believe me now? A Am D They knew, they knew, they knew the whole time That I was onto something A Am D The family, the pure greed, the Christian chorus line They all said nothing A Am Blood's thick but nothing like a payroll D Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul A Am D You can mark my words that I said it first Dm A D In a morning warning, no one heard Dm A D I patched up the crack along the wall Dm A D I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying Dm A D 'Cause that's where I was when I lost it all Am D D So, they killed Cassandra first 'cause she feared the worst Am D D And tried to tell the town Am D D So, they filled my cell with snakes, I regret to say Am D D Do you believe me now? A Am D Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah I was onto something A Am D Ah-ah-ah, ah They all said nothing A Am D Blood's thick but nothing like a payroll Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul A Am D You can mark my words that I said it first A Am In a morning warning, no one heard D A Am D No one heard, not a single word was heard A Am D When the first stone's thrown, they're screaming In the streets, there's a raging riot A Am D When it's "Burn the bitch," they're shrieking A Am When the truth comes out, it's quiet D
