And it's true, I've been at my piano everyday...thinking of you...
D G
They talk around, I hear them whisper,
Em G
its the funniest thing really they, think you're gone forever.
D G Em G
I know the truth its just, getting hard to believe it...
A G A Cadd9
and they all tell me its over, even the stars are alligned and I,
[Chorus]
D A Em
I follow the signs so clearly and still I fall in,
G
the quicksand's pulling me down.

I follow the signs so clearly and still they catch me,
G
the quicksand's pulling me down.
D G Em G

[Bridge]
Bm
Well look at my life and look at my face,
Bm G
can't you see my heart bleeding down my sleeve?
Bm
So you're holding my hand and holding my heart,
Bm G
but I just want to feel your breath inside me so I, can breathe.
Bm
Somewhere in the distance I catch a spark, a grace,
Bm G
and hope for something that makes me feel like I'm alive.
Bm
It's never too soon, it's never too late, so I start screaming out, I,
G A
see your face, I see your hand, 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 Em
I follow the signs so clearly and still they catch me,
G
the quicksand's pulling me down
D A Em
I follow the signs so clearly and still I fall in,
G
the quicksand's pulling me down
D A Em
I know you can feel me rising and 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 Em G
and look where I've come to get to this place with you...
D A
Being here to sit and lay at your 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)
[outro] D A Em G A D
