QUICKSAND JESUS
Skid Row
Tuning: Standard
[Verse 1]
EmShe caught the melting sky
EmIt burned but still the winter Cpasses by and by
EmTo the other side
EmA slow parade of wind
EmThat blows through trees that wilted Cwith the season's children
[Chorus 1]
DAre we saved by the Cwords of bastard Emsaints?
DDo we live in Cfear or faith?
CTell me now who's behDind the raEmin
[Verse 2]
EmA maze of tangled grace
EmThe symptoms of "for real" are Ccrumbling from embrace
EmBut still we chase...
EmThe shadows of belief
EmAnd new religion clouds our Cvisions of the roots
EmOf our souls
[Chorus 2]
DAre we a-Cshamed of our own Emfate
DOr play the fool Cfor our own sake?
CTell me who's beDhind the rainEm  
[Bridge]
EmWhat do we need? 
GWhere do we Emgo?
EmWhere do we Ggo when we don't Dknow?
EmWhy should we Gdoubt the Cvirgin white of fallen snow
When Emfaith's our shelter Dfrom the colEmd?
[Solo]
REPEAT BRIDGE
[Outro]
CQuicksand Jesus I'm so Dfar away without Emyou (x 2)
CQuicksand Jesus I’m so Dfar awaaaaay-ay-aEmy-ay (x2)
CQuicksand Jesus DI need you
CQuicksand Jesus DI believe you
CQuicksand... EmI'm so far aDwaaaaaaaaaEmaay
