Db F#
She walks by crying
Db F#
Those tears say jay-in
F# Db
Somebody should've told her yesterday
Db F#
That it all can fade away
Db
She didn't know mmm
F#
Guess she didn't know
F# Db
Now these sidewalks are leaking
F# Db
Ooohh shattered feelings leave a trail
F#
I wish I could've held her right before
Db
She would walk into that door
F#
Who knew it'd all
Ab
Come tumbling down
Db
If only we could reach out our hands
F# Bbm
And somehow just understand and see what this world has planned
Ab
We'd be rising from quicksand
(Quicksand) Quicksand
Db
If only we could hear what's unsaid
F#
Then I could make her face dry again
Bbm
And we could rewrite this end
Ab
And we'd be rising from quicksand
Db
Rising from quicksand
F# Db
Now her lips keep shaking
F# Db
Across the street I feel her breaking
F#
She wonders what's the use of this heart
Db
If it only tears apart
F#
If I would've known
Ab
I would've saved her from this beating
Db
If only we could reach out our hands
F# Bbm
And somehow just understand and see what this world has planned
Ab
We'd be rising from quicksand
(Quicksand) Quicksand
Db
If only we could hear what's unsaid
F#
Then I could make her face dry again

And we could rewrite this end
Ab
And we'd be rising from quicksand

Rising from quicksand
F# Bbm
She's been fighting in a war alone
F#
It's getting hard to carry on
Ab
She's dying but nobody knows knows
F# Bbm
If only every single day
F#
I could take away the pain
Ab
The sand would fade away
Db
And we'd be rising

If only we could reach out our hands
