QUICKSAND- David Bowie
        GAmG AmG AmG Am
[Intro]              
[Verse 1]
    C
I'm closer to the Golden Dawn
                                     G
Immersed in Crowley's uniform of imagery
     C
I'm living in a silent film
                                        G
Portraying Himmler's sacred realm of dream reality
     Eb
I'm frightened by the total goal
     F
     (VII)
I'm drawing to the ragged hole
      G             Em       C
                     (N.C.)  
And I ain't got the power     anymore
      C             Cmaj7   G     Am  Am Asus2 A
No I ain't got the power anymore
[Verse 2]
          D
I'm the twisted name on Garbo's eyes
                                            A
I'm living proof of Churchill's lies, I'm destiny
     D
I'm torn between the light and dark
                                         A
Where others see their targets, divine symmetry
 F
Should I kiss the viper's fang
    G
Or herald loud the death of Man
       A              F#m             D
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
        D           Dmaj7    A
And I ain't got the power anymore
[Chorus]
 A       E          F#m
Don't believe in yourself
         B7          E
Don't deceive with belief
           Em                   Bm
Knowledge comes with death's release
 Adim   A    F#m C#m E
Aaaaaahhhh aaaaaaahhh
[Verse 3](chords same as second verse)
I'm not a prophet or a stone age man
Just a mortal with potential of a superman, I'm living on
I'm tethered to the logic of Homo Sapien
Can't take my eyes from the great salvation of bullshit faith
If I don't explain what you ought to know
You can tell me all about it on the next Bardo
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
And I ain't got the power anymore
[Chorus]
 A       E          F#m
Don't believe in yourself
         D#dim7         E
Don't deceive with belief
           Edim7             Bm
Knowledge comes with death's release
 F#dim7   A    F#m C#m E
Aaaaaahhhh aaaaaaahhh
 A       E          F#m
Don't believe in yourself
         D#dim7         E
Don't deceive with belief
           Edim7             Bm
Knowledge comes with death's release
 F#dim7   A    F#m C#m E
Aaaaaahhhh aaaaaaahhh
