^ACassa^Dndra, it won't make sense ^Anot if^E you think and think again ^ABut stil^Dl they do say, life is forgiving ^Aand ends ^Eup partnered with beginnings

^AAnd^D daily, you saw it come ^Aand^E you gave warning, but couldn't run ^Aand so^D you watched until it was broken ^Aand kn^Eew the foresight delays no motion ^AI k^Dnow it's awful, I know it's bruising, ^F#mI know ^Eyou can't see past the conclusion ^Abut sti^Dll the world turns upon its axis ^F#mand w^Ee make circles so we can match it

^F#mAnd ^Eread our lines though we've had no practice A D F#m E

^ACassandr^Da, keep it down ^AI don^D't think they can hear you now ^ADon't t^Dhink they heard you first time 'round ^ANo t^Dhey can't hear you, there's no answer

^AAnd ma^Dybe there's something great ^F#mthat giv^Ees us meaning, if we wait ^Abut^D still I'm human, I'm broken-hearted ^AI see ^Dyour sundress and your sunglasses ^AI hear y^Dour question, and how you ask it ^F#mWhat^E use is love if it always passes? A D ^F#mWhat^E use is love if it always passes?

^AAn^Dd though they do say, Life is forgiving, ^F#mwhat^E use is life to those who aren't living? ^AAn^Dd though they do say, Life is forgiving, ^F#mwhat^E u^Ase is life to those who aren’t living?
