	        Tuning: Standard 

 
 

Chorus 

Am  
This place is quicksand 

                     Dm  
Don't you ever come back 

 E  
I guess you knew 


What was good for you 

                        Am  
You got out before you sank 

Am  
This place is quicksand 

                  Dm  
You look after yourself 

      E  
And you'll see soon 


I'll get out too 

                          Am  
Either there or somewhere else 

SOLO  

Chorus 

This place is quicksand 
Don't you ever come back 
I guess you knew 
What was good for you 
You got out before you sank 

VERSE 

Dm             Am  
Hey ho Tornado Joe 

E                Am  
Rip through me again 

Dm                         Am  
I miss the mess in our old van 

E                   Am  
I miss your bag of pens 

Dm             Am  
Hey ho Tornado Joe 

E            Am  
I propose a toast 

Dm                 Am    
To you and me and rock and roll 

E                     Am  
We gotta blow out towards the coast 

SOLO 2 

VERSE 

There's so much I don't know 
About this far left coast 
But my short time here for sure has shown 
It ain't no Mecca 
No paradise 
The ocean's great  
And the weather's nice 
But isolation is everywhere 
You can't escape it by coming here 
Anxiety can hitch a ride on planes 
Loneliness travels from state to state 
All my stuff is in bags and crates 
Can't es-cape my bag-gage brains 
Oh 

Chorus 

This place is quicksand 
Don't you ever come back 
I guess you knew 
What was good for you 
You got out before you sank 
This place is quicksand 
You look after yourself 
And you'll see soon 
I'll get out too 
Either there or somewhere else
