Intro
C# F# D#m F# x2
[Verse 1]
C# F# D#m F#
I'd like to say, I make good use of my time while you've been away.
C# F# D#m F# C# F# D#m F#
And it's true, I've been at my piano everyday...thinking of you...
C# F#
They talk around, I hear them whisper,
D#m F#
its the funniest thing really they, think you're gone forever.
C# F# D#m F#
I know the truth its just, getting hard to believe it...
G# F# G# Cadd9
and they all tell me its over, even the stars are alligned and I,
[Chorus]
C# G# D#m
I follow the signs so clearly and still I fall in,
F#
the quicksand's pulling me down.
C# G# D#m
I follow the signs so clearly and still they catch me,
F#
the quicksand's pulling me down.
C# F# D#m F#
[Verse 2]
C#
I'm not the same,
F# D#m F#
I can't sleep nights and now I'm calling your name when I do.
C# F# D#m F#
And yet without you they, say I get on better, and better, and better..
G# F#
when they all tell me it's over,
G# Cadd9
I'll damn the gods until the stars are alligned, and I,
[Chorus]
C# G# D#m
I follow the signs so clearly and still I fall in,
F#
the quicksand's pulling me down.
C# G# D#m
I follow the signs so clearly and still they catch me,
F# A#m
the quicksand's pulling me down..
A#m F# x2
[Bridge]
A#m
Well look at my life and look at my face,
A#m F#
can't you see my heart bleeding down my sleeve?
A#m
So you're holding my hand and holding my heart,
A#m F#
but I just want to feel your breath inside me so I, can breathe.
A#m
Somewhere in the distance I catch a spark, a grace,
A#m F#
and hope for something that makes me feel like I'm alive.
A#m
It's never too soon, it's never too late, so I start screaming out, I,
F# G#
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.
C# G# D#m
I follow the signs so clearly and still they catch me,
F#
the quicksand's pulling me down
C# G# D#m
I follow the signs so clearly and still I fall in,
F#
the quicksand's pulling me down
C# G# D#m
I know you can feel me rising and I'm on fire,
F# C# G# D#m F#
keep on pulling me out...out..
C#
Look at my life and look at my face,
G# D#m F#
and look where I've come to get to this place with you...
C# G#
Being here to sit and lay at your feet and rest in your arms,
D#m F#
and listen to your heart beat...
C# G# D#m F#
Ohhhhh, Ohhhhh, Ohhhhh.... x 4 (or as many as you like)
