Quicksand Jesus — Skid Row

Chords and lyrics for Quicksand Jesus by Skid Row (key of C).

Verse 1

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

Chorus 1

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

Verse 2

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

Chorus 2

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

Bridge

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