Cassandra, keep it down
A    D
I don't think they can hear you now
A      D
Don't think they heard you first time 'round
A   D
No they can't hear you, no Cassandra,

A    D
Cassandra, it won't make sense
A     E
not if you think and think again
A       D
But still they do say, life is forgiving
A        E 
and ends up partnered with beginnings

And daily, you saw it come
A  E
and you gave warning, but couldn't run
A     D
and so you watched until it was broken
A     E
and knew the foresight delays no motion
A  D
I know it's awful, I know it's bruising,
F#m    E
I know you can't see past the conclusion
A      D
but still the world turns upon its axis
F#m  E
and we make circles so we can match it


A  D
F#m E
And read our lines though we've had no practice

Cassandra, keep it down
A    D
I don't think they can hear you now
A      D
Don't think they heard you first time 'round
A   D
No they can't hear you, there's no answer

A     D
And maybe there's something great
F#m     E
that gives us meaning, if we wait
A  D
but still I'm human, I'm broken-hearted
A     D
I see your sundress and your sunglasses
A       D
I hear your question, and how you ask it
F#m E
What use is love if it always passes?

What use is love if it always passes?

And though they do say, Life is forgiving,
F#m E
what use is life to those who aren't living?
