| G | C | G | | Down in the street they’re all | singing and | shouting |
|
| D/F# | Em | D | | Staying | alive though the | city is | dead |
|
| D/C | G/B | D7 | G | | Hiding their | shame behind | hollow | laughter |
|
| G/B | C | A/C# | D | | While | you are | crying | alone on your | bed |

| G | C | G | | Pity Cassandra that | no one | believed you |

|
| D/C | G/B | C/E | G/D | | Now we must | suffer and | sell our | secrets |

| C6 | D | Em | Am7 | D | G | | Bargain, | playing | smart, | aching | in our | hearts |
|
|
| | | D7 | | | Sorry Cassandra I | misunderstood |
|

|
| | | G | | | You really had the | power |
|

|
|
So in the morning your ship will be sailing |
|
|
Now that your father and sister are gone |
|
|
There is no reason for you to linger |
|
|
You’re grieving deeply but still moving on |
|
|
You know the future is casting a shadow |
|
|
No one else sees it but you know you’re fate |
|
|
Packing your bags, being slow and thorough |
|
|
Knowing, though you’re late, that ship is sure to wait |
|
|
|
|
|
I watched the ship leaving harbour at sunrise |
|
|
Sails almost slack in the cool morning rain |
|
|
She stood on deck, just a tiny figure |
|
|
Rigid and restrained, blue eyes filled with pain |
|
