[Bridge]
G#m
Well look at my life and look at my face,
G#m E
can't you see my heart bleeding down my sleeve?
G#m
So you're holding my hand and holding my heart,
G#m E
but I just want to feel your breath inside me so I, can breathe.
G#m
Somewhere in the distance I catch a spark, a grace,
G#m E
and hope for something that makes me feel like I'm alive.
G#m
It's never too soon, it's never too late, so I start screaming out, I,
E F#
see your face, I see your hand, reaching out, and I yell to you and I say:
[Chorus]

the quicksand's pulling me down.

E
the quicksand's pulling me down
B F# C#m
I know you can feel me rising and I'm on fire,
E B F# C#m E
keep on pulling me out...out..
B
Look at my life and look at my face,
F# C#m E
and look where I've come to get to this place with you...
B F#
Being here to sit and lay at your feet and rest in your arms,
C#m E
and listen to your heart beat...
B F# C#m E
Ohhhhh, Ohhhhh, Ohhhhh.... x 4 (or as many as you like)
