Chords

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
        F    
And for sixty days I knew no other road 

    F              
And through the maelstrom, which turned in time with the kick drum
I was swallowed and twisted and spit out on a coast
    F 
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
F                                                        F   
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
F
It's all concrete and steel, we're asleep at the wheel, and the mayor's just a gun for hire

F                                                        F
Listen to the streets there's a heartbeat missing in the city 

F                                                      F
Listen to the sound there's a time bomb ticking in the city 

F
I've heard the song the morning sings
Outside the gate is everything
F
Let in the light! Let in the light! 

F
Streetwalker said to me she has no need for history

F 
She has the key she has the key 

F
Sweet sunlight, I can see it in my mind's eye 

F
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
F                                                        F
Listen to the streets there's a heartbeat missing in the city

F                                                      F
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:
F                                  F
Where are the trees, where are the trees?
And she said free yourself from history
F                            F
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}
F (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
           F            F
You better run, run run run...

           F            F
You better run, run run run...

           F        F!    
You better ru-------n!
