Cassandra, keep it down
A5    D5
I don't think they can hear you now
A5      D5
Don't think they heard you first time 'round
A5   D5
No they can't hear you, no Cassandra,

A5    D5
Cassandra, it won't make sense
A5     E5
not if you think and think again
A5       D5
But still they do say, life is forgiving
A5        E5 
and ends up partnered with beginnings

A5  D5
And daily, you saw it come
A5  E5
and you gave warning, but couldn't run
A5     D5
and so you watched until it was broken
A5     E5
and knew the foresight delays no motion
A5  D5
I know it's awful, I know it's bruising,
F#5    E5
I know you can't see past the conclusion
A5      D5
but still the world turns upon its axis
F#5  E5
and we make circles so we can match it


A5  D5
F#5 E5
And read our lines though we've had no practice

Cassandra, keep it down
A5    D5
I don't think they can hear you now
A5      D5
Don't think they heard you first time 'round
A5   D5
No they can't hear you, there's no answer

A5     D5
And maybe there's something great
F#5     E5
that gives us meaning, if we wait
A5  D5
but still I'm human, I'm broken-hearted
A5     D5
I see your sundress and your sunglasses
A5       D5
I hear your question, and how you ask it
F#5 E5
What use is love if it always passes?
A5 D5
F#5 E5
What use is love if it always passes?

A5 D5 F#5 E5

A5 D5
And though they do say, Life is forgiving,
F#5 E5
what use is life to those who aren't living?
