Cassandra chords by Taylor Swift

• Difficulty: Intermediate

Key: Cm

♫ Verse 1:
            Cm        Eb      Bb
I was in my new house placing daydreams
            Cm        Eb   Bb
Patching up the crack along the wall
                   Cm       Eb      Bb
I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying
                          Cm     Eb Bb
'Cause that's where I was when I got the call

♫ Pre-Chorus:
Cm          Eb            Bb
   When the first stone's thrown, they're screaming
Cm        Eb                 Bb
   In the streets, there's a raging riot
Cm           Eb        Bb
   When it's "Burn the bitch," they're shrieking
Cm          Eb          Bb
   When the truth comes out, it's quiet

♫ Chorus:
Gm          Bb        F
   So, 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:
            Cm    Eb      Bb
I was in my tower weaving nightmares
                Cm     Eb  Bb
Twisting all my smiles into snarls
                        Cm       Eb        Bb
They say, "What doesn't kill you makes you aware"
                   Cm      Eb Bb
What happens if it becomes who you are?

♫ Chorus:
Gm          Bb        F
   So, 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:
Ab                    Cm              Bb
   They knew, they knew, they knew the whole time

That I was onto something
Ab                Cm                       Bb
   The family, the pure greed, the Christian chorus line

They all said nothing
Ab             Cm                     Bb
   Blood's thick but nothing like a payroll

Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul
Ab              C                 Bb
   You can mark my words that I said it first

In the morning warning, no one heard

Cm Eb Bb

♫ Verse 3:
                 Cm        Eb   Bb
I patched up the crack along the wall
                   Cm       Eb      Bb
I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying
                          Cm     Eb  Bb
'Cause that's where I was when I lost it all

♫ Chorus:
Gm          Bb        F
   So, 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:
Ab  Cm        Bb
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah

I was onto something
Ab  Cm        Bb
    Ah-ah-ah, ah

They all said nothing
Ab             Cm                     Bb
 Blood's thick but nothing like a payroll

Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul
Ab               C                 Bb
  You can mark my words that I said it first
                              Ab
In the morning warning, no one heard
Cm       Bb              Ab        Cm Bb
   No one heard, not a single word -   - was heard

♫ Outro:
Ab               Cm                           Bb
  When the first stone's thrown, they're screaming

In the streets, there's a raging riot
Ab                Cm                        Bb
  When it's "Burn the bitch," they're shrieking
                               Ab
When the truth comes out, it's quiet
Cm      Bb
   It's so quiet
