QUICKSAND JESUS
Skid Row
Tuning: Standard
VERSE 1
Em
She caught the melting sky
EmC
It burned but still the winter passes by and by
Em
To the other side
Em
A slow parade of wind
EmC
That blows through trees that wilted with the season's children
CHORUS 1
DCEm
Are we saved by the words of bastard saints?
DC
Do we live in fear or faith?
CDEm
Tell me now who's behind the rain
VERSE 2
Em
A maze of tangled grace
EmC
The symptoms of "for real" are crumbling from embrace
Em
But still we chase...
Em
The shadows of belief
EmC
And new religion clouds our visions of the roots
Em
Of our souls
CHORUS 2
DCEm
Are we a-shamed of our own fate
DC
Or play the fool for our own sake?
CDEm
Tell me who's behind the rain
BRIDGE
Em
What do we need?
GEm
Where do we go?
EmGD
Where do we go when we don't know?
EmGC
Why should we doubt the virgin white of fallen snow
EmDEm
When faith's our shelter from the cold?
