These chords are pretty much accurate for the whole song
but yea, just like play with the song it should work out perfect!
Intro {x4}
G x8 (play along with the
song to find the beat)
G (hold until the end of 'quicksand')
Over land, I traveled time and space and quicksand
G
And for sixty days I knew no other road
G
And through the maelstrom, which turned in time with the kick drum
I was swallowed and twisted and spit out on a coast
G
And in this place there stands a gate that leads to the heart of the city
And I've spent seven years and a sea of fears in this broken mirror of a city
C G
Listen to the streets there's a heartbeat missing in the city
Sweet sunlight, I can see it in my mind's eye
And I remember feeling alright
And I saw black clouds and Turin shrouds and it smelled of a faded empire
G
It's all concrete and steel, we're asleep at the wheel, and the mayor's just a gun for hire
C G
Listen to the streets there's a heartbeat missing in the city
C G
Listen to the sound there's a time bomb ticking in the city
G
I've heard the song the morning sings
Outside the gate is everything
C
Let in the light! Let in the light!
G
Streetwalker said to me she has no need for history
C
She has the key she has the key
G
Sweet sunlight, I can see it in my mind's eye
C
Let in the light! Let in the light!
G (slow down tempo)
Waking up from a dream where I was the stone and you were the stream
Chemical City isn't all that you need but it's all that you're getting and they've hidden the key
C G
Listen to the streets there's a heartbeat missing in the city
C G
Listen to the sound there's a time bomb ticking in the city
I said this place is an unnatural disaster
And I'm a visitor here so I asked her:
C G
Where are the trees, where are the trees?
And she said free yourself from history
C G
That is the key! That is the key!
Sweet sunlight, I can see it in my mind's eye
C G (speed up - ROCK and ROLL)
I see the light! I see the light!
G(2 bars of 4:4 strumming) C x8 (same rythem as G intro)
G (steady palm muted strumming)
The gate is gone now, you better run {sing this x4}
G (louder)
Can you feel it? There's a heartbeat missing in the city
When all the fat cats are hissing at your pity
Yeah the gate is gone so you better run
G C
You better run, run run run...
G C
You better run, run run run...
G C!
You better ru-------n!
