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
