"QUICKSAND" BY SLEEPING AT LAST (Standard tuning)


                  F5                 A5
There are wires in between
               D5                 G5
Human heart and machine.
           F5            A5
I will wait for mountains
      D5                    G5
To tell me youre okay
       F5                                   A5
On paper my future will lay.
    D5                         G5
Ill fold every failure into a crane.

               C5
Trust is quicksand,
                 E5                 C5
Claiming everything I have,
           F5                              C5                    G5
All to give me life, all to give me life.

A5               
Slow down, hide your eyes!
        G5                      C5
The sun is setting fire
A5
Through glass, branches deep.
  G5                       C5
I cough only to breathe.

               C5
Trust is quicksand,
                 E5                 C5
Claiming everything I have,
           F5                              C5                    G5
All to give me life, all to give me life.
C5
One thousand more to go,
                         E5                     C5
Ill send every prayer from below.
          F5                          C5          G5
I was swallowed by a whale.

A5
Slow down, youre all words
         G5         C5           
And love is made of yarn.
A5
Scissors,
A5
A slip of the hand, a slip of the tongue;
         G5                        C5              A5 
God knows I meant no harm ,
C5                  A5
I meant no harm.

In between every promise and lie there is a kiss.

In between medicine and the sick there is a kiss.
