Intro

Em C Am Am x2

Verse 1

Take me away, take me away
You said that you were gonna stay
But you're always lying anyway
You're gonna suffer if you don't start breathing now

Pre-Chorus

Now that I need you
You're going away
[Chorus] (half pattern)
Every day, sinking into quicksand
Follow me down the drain

Verse 2

But it doesn't matter anyway
You're gonna get yours any day 
And while you put the blame on me
If you could only see yourself as others

Pre-Chorus

See, now that I need you
You're going insane

Chorus

Every day, sinking into quicksand
Follow me down the drain
Every day, drinking in the same bar
Drowning my sorrows away

Solo

Em C Am Am x2

Verse 3

Take me away, take me today
Or I'm never gonna get away 
But it makes no difference to me
It's just the sound of one more rock star bleeding

Pre-Chorus

Out, now that I need you
You're out of the frame

Chorus

Day by day, sinking into quicksand
Follow me down the drain
Every day, drinking in the same bar
Made mine the same again
