"QUICKSAND" BY SLEEPING AT LAST (Standard tuning)
F Am
There are wires in between

Human heart and machine.

I will wait for mountains
Dm G
To tell me youre okay
F Am
On paper my future will lay.
Dm G
Ill fold every failure into a crane.

Trust is quicksand,
Em C
Claiming everything I have,
F C G
All to give me life, all to give me life.
Am
Slow down, hide your eyes!
G C
The sun is setting fire
Am
Through glass, branches deep.
G C
I cough only to breathe.

One thousand more to go,

Ill send every prayer from below.

I was swallowed by a whale.

Slow down, youre all words

And love is made of yarn.

Scissors,

A slip of the hand, a slip of the tongue;
G C Am
God knows I meant no harm,

I meant no harm.

In between every promise and lie there is a kiss.

In between tempers and suitcases there is a kiss.

In between medicine and the sick there is a kiss.

In between arrows, aim, and release, there is a kiss.
