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

G  O 

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

G  O 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
