QUICKSAND JESUS
Skid Row
Tuning: Standard
[Verse 1]
Em
She caught the melting sky
Em C
It burned but still the winter passes by and by
Em
To the other side
Em
A slow parade of wind
Em C
That blows through trees that wilted with the season's children
[Chorus 1]
D C Em
Are we saved by the words of bastard saints?
D C
Do we live in fear or faith?
C D Em
Tell me now who's behind the rain
[Verse 2]
Em
A maze of tangled grace
Em C
The symptoms of "for real" are crumbling from embrace
Em
But still we chase...
Em
The shadows of belief
Em C
And new religion clouds our visions of the roots
Em
Of our souls
[Chorus 2]
D C Em
Are we a-shamed of our own fate
D C
Or play the fool for our own sake?
C D Em
Tell me who's behind the rain
[Bridge]
Em
What do we need?
G Em
Where do we go?
Em G D
Where do we go when we don't know?
Em G C
Why should we doubt the virgin white of fallen snow
Em D Em
When faith's our shelter from the cold?
[Solo]
REPEAT BRIDGE
[Outro]

C Em D Em
Quicksand... I'm so far awaaaaaaaaaaay
