"QUICKSAND" BY SLEEPING AT LAST (Standard tuning)
F Am
There are wires in between
Dm G
Human heart and machine.
F Am
I will wait for mountains
Dm G
To tell me youre okay
F Am
On paper my future will lay.
Dm G
Ill fold every failure into a crane.
C
Trust is quicksand,
Em C
Claiming everything I have,
F C G
All to give me life, all to give me life.
Am
Slow down, hide your eyes!
G C
The sun is setting fire
Am
Through glass, branches deep.
G C
I cough only to breathe.
C x8 measures
C
Trust is quicksand,
Em C
Claiming everything I have,
F C G
All to give me life, all to give me life.
C
One thousand more to go,
Em C
Ill send every prayer from below.
F C G
I was swallowed by a whale.
Am
Slow down, youre all words
G C
And love is made of yarn.
Am
Scissors,
Am
A slip of the hand, a slip of the tongue;
G C Am
God knows I meant no harm,
C Am
I meant no harm.
Am, G, F, Em, F
G, F Em F
In between every promise and lie there is a kiss.
G, F Em F
In between tempers and suitcases there is a kiss.
G, F Em F
In between medicine and the sick there is a kiss.
G, F Em F
In between arrows, aim, and release, there is a kiss.
(end on G)
