"QUICKSAND" BY SLEEPING AT LAST (Standard tuning)
There are wires in[F] between[Am]
Human heart and[Dm] machine.[G]
I will wait[F] for mountain[Am]s
To tel[Dm]l me youre okay[G]
On pape[F]r my future will lay.[Am]
Ill [Dm]fold every failure into a c[G]rane.
Trust is quicks[C]and,
Claiming everythi[Em]ng I have,[C]
All to give[F] me life, all to give me life.[C][G]
[Am]Slow down, hide your eyes!
The sun [G]is setting fire[C]
[Am]Through glass, branches deep.
I [G]cough only to breathe.[C]
C x8 measures
Trust is quicks[C]and,
Claiming everythi[Em]ng I have,[C]
All to give[F] me life, all to give me life.[C][G]
[C]One thousand more to go,
Ill send every prayer fro[Em]m below.[C]
I was swal[F]lowed by a whale.[C][G]
[Am]Slow down, youre all words
And love [G]is made of[C] yarn.
[Am]Scissors,
[Am]A slip of the hand, a slip of the tongue;
God knows[G] I meant no harm,[C][Am]
[C]I meant no harm.[Am]
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.
