[Intro]
Em Bm A D

 [Verse 1]
Bm        D            
 I put my life on hold 
     A
 and took you home
Bm               Em     
 Good sense shot down I 
        D
 placed you on a throne
Fm            Em          
 Where was the wheel that 
        D
 kept me on the road
     F             Em
 The force of nature 
           D
 preventing overload
    F        Em    
 So don't you know 
          D             Em D
 I've been dressed to kill
 F             Em     
 If you got the tools 
           D            Em D
 be careful what you build
 Fm              Em      
 When the arrow's in the 
           D
 bull's-eye every time
     F            Em    
It's hard assuming that 
            A#
the archer's blind

 [Chorus]
   Em
My quicksand
                           Bm
Let me introduce you to my final 
stand
          F#7
I went to Paris once
                  Bm
I thought I had a plan
                  Em
I woke up with an accent
                Bm
I wound up in quicksand
Bm Em Bm
My quicksand

[Verse 2]
Em Bm A D
Bm     D                       
 I was full of foreign notions 
       A
 at the start
Bm                    D    
 There was never once when 
             A
 I was off my guard
Fm      Em             D
 For any ghost of every poet 
 in the ground
F               Em            A
 There's one like me to buy the 
 guys a round

  [Chorus]
   Em
My quicksand
                           Bm
Let me introduce you to my final 
stand
          F#7
I went to Paris once
                  Bm
I thought I had a plan
                  Em
I woke up with an accent
               Bm
I wound up in quicksand
Bm Em Bm
My quicksand

[Bridge]
    Em    Bm
I'm going down
        Em   Bm     Em    Bm
You and me together going down
    Em         Bm      Em   
It's not what I'd been told 
           D
about this town
              C#7          
That when you least expect 
           D#
if you can drown
   Em   Bm
In quicksand
Bm Em Bm
My quicksand

I went to Paris once

I thought I had a plan

I woke up with an accent

I wound up in quicksand
