• Capo on 1st
• Difficulty: Intermediate

Key: Cm

Verse 1:
 B
I used to see the future and now I see nothin'
   B
They cut out my eyes and sent me home packin'
E                 Em
 To pace around the kitchen for scraps of inspiration



 B
Cryin' like Cassandra
I
F#
Used to tell the future, but they cut out my tongue
   E             Em
And left me doin' laundry to thinkin' what I've done
      B  C#m  G#m
It wasn't me
  F#   E
It was the song

Verse 2:
      B5
I used to move into the future, bring it all back
     B5
Let it bleed through my fingers, a treasure in my hands
    B5
Now I creep out when there's no one about
         B5
'Cause they put crosses on the doors to try and keep me out
   Bm          A
With gardеns of the grove
                 E/G#  G
And I run in the middlе of the road    (Ooh)


Chorus:
F#7         Bm
 Well, can you see me?
       D
I cannot see you
        G
Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view
     D        F#7
In this blindness I'm condemned to
          Bm
Well, can you hear me?
        D
I cannot hear you
        G
Every song I thought I knew
I've been deafened to
       D       F#7   Bm
And there's no one left to sing to


Verse 3:
     Bm
All the gods have been domesticated
   Bm
And Heaven is now overrated
       Bm
And the churches, they all closed their doors
        Bm
Well, you can take your complaints straight to the Lord
                Bm
I try to still look where they wander on the work
          A
As the roses bloom
              E/G#       G
And the riot plants, they're plainly in view


Chorus:
F#7         Bm
 Well, can you see me?
       D
I cannot see you
        G
Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view
     D        F#7
In this blindness I'm condemned to
          Bm
Well, can you hear me?
        D
I cannot hear you
        G
Every song I thought I knew
I've been deafened to
       D       F#7
And there's no one left to sing to

Bridge:
Bm
Ooh
A
Ooh
E/G#  G   F#7
Ooh
oh
Bm
Ooh, ooh, ooh (Take me back)
A
Ooh, ooh, ooh (Oh, the drunken gods oversweeten)
E/G#      G
Ooh, ooh, ooh  (I must be their favourite daughter)


Chorus:
F#7         Bm
 Well, can you see me?
       D
I cannot see you
        G
Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view
       Bm
And if I run fast enough
     D
Could I break apart
      G                  D   F#7
As empires tumble and cathedrals flatten in my heart?
