My Quicksand

Em Bm A D

 [Verse 1]
Bm        D                A
 I put my life on hold and took you 
home
Bm               Em              
 Good sense shot down I placed 
   D
you on a throne
Fm            Em                 
 Where was the wheel that kept me on
D
 the road
     F             Em          D
 The force of nature preventing 
overload
    F        Em             D    
 So don't you know I've been 
         Em D
dressed to kill
 F             Em               D
 If you got the tools be careful 
            Em D
what you build
 Fm              Em                
 When the arrow's in the bull's-eye 
D
every time
     F            Em              
It's hard assuming that the 
  A#
archer's blind

 [Chorus]
   Em
My quicksand
                           Bm
Let me introduce you to my final 
stand
          F#7
I went to Paris once
                  Bm
I thought I had a plan
                  Em
I woke up with an accent
                Bm
I wound up in quicksand
Continúa después del anuncio
Bm Em Bm
My quicksand

 [Verse 2]

Em Bm A D
Bm     D                         
 I was full of foreign notions at
    A
 the start
Bm                    D          
 There was never once when I was 
      A
off my guard
Fm      Em             D
 For any ghost of every poet in the 
ground
F               Em            A
 There's one like me to buy the guys
 a round

  [Chorus]
   Em
My quicksand
                           Bm
Let me introduce you to my final 
stand
          F#7
I went to Paris once
                  Bm
I thought I had a plan
                  Em
I woke up with an accent
               Bm
I wound up in quicksand
Bm Em Bm
My quicksand

 [Bridge]
    Em    Bm
I'm going down
        Em   Bm     Em    Bm
You and me together going down
    Em         Bm      Em        
It's not what I'd been told about
      D
 this town
              C#7                
That when you least expect if you 
     D#
can drown
   Em   Bm
In quicksand
Bm Em Bm
My quicksand

 [Solo]

 [Chorus]
   Em
My quicksand
                           Bm
Let me introduce you to my final 
stand
          F#7
I went to Paris once
                  Bm
I thought I had a plan
                  Em
I woke up with an accent
               Bm
I wound up in quicksand
Bm Em Bm
My quicksand
