Tuning: Standard

CAPO 2

CHORUS

A minorAm
This place is quicksand

           DmDm
Don't you ever come back

 E MajorE
I guess you knew

What was good for you

            A minorAm
You got out before you sank

A minorAm
This place is quicksand

         DmDm
You look after yourself

   E MajorE
And you'll see soon


I'll get out too

             A minorAm
Either there or somewhere else

SOLO

CHORUS

This place is quicksand
Don't you ever come back
I guess you knew
What was good for you
You got out before you sank

VERSE

DmDm       A minorAm
Hey ho Tornado Joe

E MajorE        A minorAm
Rip through me again

DmDm             A minorAm
I miss the mess in our old van

E MajorE          A minorAm
I miss your bag of pens

DmDm       A minorAm
Hey ho Tornado Joe

E MajorE      A minorAm
I propose a toast

DmDm         A minorAm
To you and me and rock and roll

E MajorE           A minorAm
We gotta blow out towards the coast

SOLO 2

VERSE

There's so much I don't know
About this far left coast
But my short time here for sure has shown
It ain't no Mecca
No paradise
The ocean's great
And the weather's nice
But isolation is everywhere
You can't escape it by coming here
Anxiety can hitch a ride on planes
Loneliness travels from state to state
All my stuff is in bags and crates
Can't es-cape my bag-gage brains
Oh

CHORUS

This place is quicksand
Don't you ever come back
I guess you knew
What was good for you
You got out before you sank
This place is quicksand
You look after yourself
And you'll see soon
I'll get out too
Either there or somewhere else
