D                G               
 i'd like to say, i make good use
        Em                G
 of my time while you've been away.
D              G             
 and it's true, i've been at my 
         Em    G        D         
piano everyday...thinking of 
 G  Em  G
you...
D                 G
 they talk around, i hear them 
whisper,
         Em                        
 its the funniest thing really 
 G
they, think you're gone forever.
 D                         G      
 i know the truth its just, 
             Em     G
getting hard to believe it...

A              G               A
 and they all tell me its over, 
          C9
even the stars are alligned and i,

 (chorus)
D             A                   
 i follow the signs so clearly and
 Em
 still i fall in,
     G
 the quicksand's pulling me down.
D             A                   
 i follow the signs so clearly and
 Em
 still they catch me,
     G
 the quicksand's pulling me down.

 (verse 2)
D
 i'm not the same,
G                                 
 i can't sleep nights and now i'm 
Em                       G
calling your name when i do.
D                        G       
 and yet without you they, say i 
          Em                  
get on better, and better, and 
    G
better..

 (bridge)
      Bm
 well look at my life and look at my
 face,
 Bm                             
 can't you see my heart bleeding 
    G
down my sleeve?
           Bm
 so you're holding my hand and 
holding my heart,
     Bm                            
 but i just want to feel your 
             G
breath inside me so i, can breathe.
 Bm
 somewhere in the distance i catch a
 spark, a grace,
     Bm                            
 and hope for something that makes 
                     G
me feel like i'm alive.
     Bm
 it's never too soon, it's never too
 late, so i start screaming out, i,
           G                    
 see your face, i see your hand, 
                     A
reaching out, and i yell to you and 
i say:

 (chorus)
*guitar break in acoustic 
version(otherwise same as above)*

 i follow the signs so clearly and 
still i fall in

 the quicksand's pulling me down.
D             A                   
 i follow the signs so clearly and
 Em
 still they catch me,
     G
 the quicksand's pulling me down
D             A                   
 i follow the signs so clearly and
 Em
 still i fall in,
     G
 the quicksand's pulling me down
D               A                 
 i know you can feel me rising and
 Em
 i'm on fire,
 G         D        A  Em  G
 keep on pulling me out...out..

 D
 look at my life and look at my 
face,
     A                             
 and look where i've come to get to
         Em         G
 this place with you...
D                                 
 being here to sit and lay at your
          A
 feet and rest in your arms,
                 Em            G
 and listen to your heart beat...

 D       A       Em   G
 ohhhhh, ohhhhh, ohhhhh.... x 4 (or 
as many as you like)
