[Verse]

            Am        C      G
I was in my new house placing daydreams
            Am        C   G
Patching up the crack along the wall
                   Am       
I pass it and lose track of 
C      G
what I'm saying
                          Am   
'Cause that's where I was when 
  C G
I got the call
 
[Pre-Chorus]

Am          C            G
   When the first stone's thrown, 

they're screaming
Am        C        
   In the streets,  
         G
there's a raging riot
Am           C        G
   When it's "Burn the bench," 

they're shrieking
Am          C          G
   When the truth comes out, 

it's quiet
 
[Chorus]

Em          G        D
   So, they killed Cassandra first 

'cause she feared the worst
Em              G       D
   And tried to tell the town
Em          G        D
   So, they filled my cell with snakes,

 I regret to say
Em          G       D
   Do you believe me now?
 
[Verse]

            Am    C      G
I was in my tower weaving nightmares
                Am     C  G
Twisting all my smiles into snarls
                        Am       
They say, "What doesn't kill you 
C         G
makes you aware"
                   Am      
What happens if it becomes 
C G
who you are?
 
[Chorus]

Em          G        D
   So, they killed Cassandra first 

'cause she feared the worst
Em              G       D
   And tried to tell the town
Em          G        D
   So, they set my life in flames, 

I regret to say
Em          G       D
   Do you believe me now?
 
[Bridge]

F                    Am  
   They knew, they knew, 
            G
they knew the whole time
 
That I was onto something
F                Am           
   The family, the pure greed, 
         G
the Christian chorus line
 
They all said nothing
F             Am                     G
   Blood's thick but nothing like a payroll
 
Bet they never spared 

a prayer for my soul
F              A            
   You can mark my words that  
   G
I said it first
 
In the morning warning, 

no one heard
 
Am C 
G
 
[Verse]

                 Am        C   G
I patched up the crack along the wall
                   Am       C   
I pass it and lose track of what  
  G
I'm saying
                          Am   
'Cause that's where I was when 
  C  G
I lost it all
 
[Chorus]

Em          G        D
   So, they killed Cassandra first 

'cause she feared the worst
Em              G       D
   And tried to tell the town
Em          G        D
   So, they set my life in flames, 

I regret to say
Em          G       D
   Do you believe me now?
 
[Bridge]

F  Am        G
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
 
I was onto something
F  Am        G
    Ah-ah-ah, ah
 
They all said nothing
F             Am    
 Blood's thick but 
                  G
nothing like a payroll 
 
Bet they never spared 

a prayer for my soul
F               A           
  You can mark my words that 
     G
I said it first
                        
In the morning warning, 
      F
no one heard
Am       G              F        Am G
   No one heard, not a single word   

was heard
 
[Outro]

F               Am               
  When the first stone's thrown, 
           G
they're screaming 
 
In the streets, 

there's a raging riot
F                Am          
  When it's "Burn the bench," 
            G
they're shrieking
                         
When the truth comes out, 
     F
it's quiet
Am      G
   It's so quiet
