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