Quicksand

G        C        Am         C

[Verse 1]
G                    C           
  This is a bad, bad movie, oh, 
    Am
it's gone on too long the ending's,
               C
all wrong and, oh, there's no hope.
  G                                
I stir my coffee, you try to smile,
   C
 I hear the clink of glass in the 
sink
    Am          C
and I just look down and take a 
drink.

[Chorus]
       G                     
Oh, we know we're standing in 
               C
quicksand, we know it's faster if we
 fight,
     Am         C
and, oh, we lay down and hold hands.
       G                     
Oh, we know we're standing in 
               C
quicksand, we know it's faster if we
 fight,
Continues after the ad
     Am               C
and, oh, but just let go and slip 
away.

[Verse 2]
    G                             
The bed looks just like the moon, 
C                              Am
cold and pale and just as far away;
                 C
we let the focus drift and watched 
the colors fade.
    G                              
You pull the covers back and look 
  C                             
at me, just like you waiting for 
Am
something,
                 C
something that's never coming back.

[Chorus]
       G                     
Oh, we know we're standing in 
               C
quicksand, we know it's faster if we
 fight,
     Am         C
and, oh, we lay down and hold hands.
       G                     
Oh, we know we're standing in 
               C
quicksand, we know it's faster if we
 fight,
     Am          C
and, oh, but let go and slip away.

[Chorus]
   G                               
We know we're standing in 
  C
quicksand, it might be funny, 
charming,
Am                   C
something, something   if it was 
somebody else.
G            C                 
  It's a bad dream, it's a bad 
Am                         C
dream and one of us should scream,
                 G                 
one of us should scream, one of us 
       C
should scream,
                 Am           
one of us should scream. Baby, 
 C             G       G     G  
scream. Baby, scream.
    G
