Quicksand

Dm

[Verse 1]
Dm
  Mama don't sleep well
Dm
She worries 'bout the kids all night
Dm
And the kids don't eat well
Dm
They worry 'bout the mama so they hustle on the side


[Pre-Chorus]
G                            F
 And daddy workin' three jobs
F
The sweat keeps drippin' in the Buffalo sunshine
Dm
  So he drives that car
Dm
Promises someday, mama, we will be all right


[Chorus]
Dm                F                              Bb
  And I'll be fine to get my feet on solid ground
Bb
Sometimes it feels like quicksand
     Gm
Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down
Dm                F                              Bb
  And I'll be fine to get my feet on solid ground
Bb
Sometimes it feels like quicksand
     Gm                                Dm
Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down


[Verse 2]
Dm
  Sister's got a new car
Dm
No new friends, she got money in the bank
Dm
And every day she works hard, she plays hard
Dm
Baby knows how to drink


[Pre-Chorus]
G
 Her brother's in a bad place
F
Takes prescriptions for pain to keep his demons at bay
       Dm
So she,  so she drives that car
Dm
Promises, someday brother, we will be all right


[Chorus]
Dm                F                              Bb
  And I'll be fine to get my feet on solid ground
Bb
Sometimes it feels like quicksand
     Gm
Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down
Dm                F                              Bb
  And I'll be fine to get my feet on solid ground
Bb
Sometimes it feels like quicksand
     Gm
Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down


[Bridge]
Dm F
    It's pullin' me down, down, down
Bb
  Sometimes it feels like quicksand
     Gm
Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down


[Verse 3]
Dm
  Every day, I pray and I pray, feel like the rain always stayin'
Dm
Every day, I pray and I pray, I pray that I find my way
Dm
Every day, I pray and I pray, feel like the rain always stayin'
Dm
Every day, I pray and I pray, I gotta find an escape


[Chorus]
Dm                F                              Bb
  And I'll be fine to get my feet on solid ground
Bb
Sometimes it feels like quicksand
     Gm
Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down
Dm                F                              Bb
  And I'll be fine to get my feet on solid ground
Bb
Sometimes it feels like quicksand
     Gm
Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down


[Outro]
Dm F
    It's pullin' me down, down, down
Bb
  Sometimes it feels like quicksand
     Gm
Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down
Dm F
    It's pullin' me down, down, down
Bb
  Sometimes it feels like quicksand
     Gm
Quicksand's pullin' me down, down, down
