QUICKSAND JESUS
Skid Row
Tuning: Standard

VERSE 1
Em
She caught the melting sky
Em                             C
It burned but still the winter passes by and by
Em
To the other side
Em
A slow parade of wind
Em                                   C 
That blows through trees that wilted with the season's children

CHORUS 1
D                   C                Em
Are we saved by the words of bastard saints?
D             C        
Do we live in fear or faith?
C                    D         Em
Tell me now who's behind the rain

VERSE 2
Em
A maze of tangled grace
Em                             C
The symptoms of "for real" are crumbling from embrace
Em
But still we chase...
Em
The shadows of belief
Em                          C
And new religion clouds our visions of the roots
Em
Of our souls

CHORUS 2
D        C                 Em  
Are we a-shamed of our own fate
D 		 C
Or play the fool for our own sake?
C	        D	        Em
Tell me who's behind the rain

BRIDGE
Em
What do we need? 
G           Em
Where do we go?
Em          G                D
Where do we go when we don't know?
Em            G         C
Why should we doubt the virgin white of fallen snow
     Em                  D           Em
When faith's our shelter from the cold?
