 [Intro] D  G  Em  G x2

 [Verse 1]
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, 
          Cadd9
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.

D  G  Em  G

 [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..

A              G
 when they all tell me it's over,
A              Cadd9
 I'll damn the gods until 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                       Bm
 the quicksand's pulling me down..

 Bm  G x2

 [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)
