Cassandra Chords by Abba

_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Down in the street [F] they're all singing [C] and shouting
_ _ Staying [G] alive [C] though the city [G] is dead
_ Hiding [C] their shame behind [G] a [C] hollow laughter
While you [F] are crying [D] alone [G] on your bed
_ [C] Did he kiss Sandra that no one believed you? _ _
But then [G] again you [Am] were lost from the [G] _
start
Now we [C] must suffer [Am] and tell [C] our secrets [F] _ again
_ [G] Playing [Am] [Dm] smart and faking [Em] in [C] our hearts
Sorry, Kirsten, [G] I misunderstood
_ Now the last [C] day is dawning
_ _ Some of us won [G] it but none of us would
Listen to [C] words unwanted
Rest _ _ _ [E] of night [Am] nobody knew how [E] to _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ weep
Sorry, Kirsten, I [G] didn't believe
You really had [C] the power
_ _ My only [G] story is dreams you would weep
Until the [C] final hour
_ _ _ So _ in the morning [F] your ship [C] will be sailing
_ _ Now [G] that your father [Am] and sister are [G] gone
_ There [C] is no reason [G] for [C] you to linger
You're [F] grieving deeply [D] but still [G] moving on
_ [C] You know the future is cast in the shadow _ _
_ _ _ _ No [G] one else sees [C] it but you [G] know your fate
_ Packing [C] your bags, [F] being slow and [C] thorough
[F] Knowing _ _ [G] though [Am] you're late [Dm] that ship [G] is sure [C] to wake
Sorry, Kirsten, [G] I misunderstood
_ Now the last [C] day is dawning
_ Some of us won [G] it but none of us would
Listen to [C] words unwanted
But _ on the darkest [E] of nights [Am] nobody _ [E] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
dreamed
_ Sorry, Kirsten, I [G] didn't believe
You really had [C] the power
My _ only story [G] is dreams you would weep
Until the [C] final hour
_ _ _ I _ watched the ship leave in harbor at _ sunrise
Sails [G] almost flat [Am] in the cool [G] morning rain
She [C] stood on deck [F] just a [C] tiny figure
[F] _ _ _ [G] Rigid and [Am] [Dm] restrained
Blue [G] eyes filled [C] with pain
Sorry, Kirsten, [G] I misunderstood
_ Now the last [C] day is dawning
Some of us won [G] it but none of us would
Listen to [C] words unwanted
But _ on the darkest [E] of nights [Am] nobody dreamed
[E] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ Sorry, Kirsten, [G] I didn't believe
_ You really _ [C] had the power
My _ only story [G] is dreams you would weep
Until the [C] final _ hour _ _ _
