|-5--2--4--5--| x4 (the fourth time where she says "and i'm in the quick sand", you want hit

pre verse 2
strumming pattern :
d-sd-u-u-sd-su-sd-u-u-su-sd-su-d-sd-u-u-sd-su-sd-u-u-su-sd-su
the thing here is that you have to play the first chord and play then second on the
up. and the following 3 scratches are for you to adjust to the next chord. the second set of
are for the third chord followed by scratches to, again, adjust to the next chord. then
repeat that whole pattern for the next set of chords. and this whole pattern is
twice.

|-5-7-3-8--10-5|
Interlude/Break (whatever you want to call it)
pattern:
this part is a bit hard to tell what the pattern is becasue it seems as if shes just
into the song to even care how it sounds as long as it sounds good. ill give it a go.
d-sd-u-u-d-u-u-d-u-u-d-u(change)
on the second set of u's is where you add that pinky finger
|-5-5-3-3|
|-7-7-5-5|
|-5-5-3-3|
|-5-5-4-5| x2
|-5-5-3-3|
|-5-7-3-3|

pattern isnt important but if you must, just follow mine.
|-5-5-3-8--8--5|
|-7-7-2-10-10-7|
|-5-5-3-8--8--5|
|-5-5-4-9--9--5| x2
|-5-5-3-8--8--5|
|-5-7-3-8--10-5|
then elly strums this note repeatedly for 4 counts. strumming pattern doesn't matter. ;D

pre verse 2
again, by this time youre probably really into the song and strumming doesnt matter so
can just go all out, but if you do want to keep the pattern, feel free to do so.
|-5-5-3-8--8--5|
|-7-7-2-10-10-7|
|-5-5-3-8--8--5|
|-5-5-4-9--9--5|

[Intro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
I'm the upsetter, holding your hand
It seems you have forgotten about your man
Alone in the darkness, my bed's a different land
Your touch intensifies and I'm in the quicksand
[Chorus]
I'm in the quicksand
I'm in the quicksand
[Verse 2]
You're the upsetter, stroking my hand
What's my position? I don't understand
Am I your possession, am I in demand?
Oh, when you turn to me I'm in the quicksand
[Chorus]
I'm in the quicksand
I'm in the quicksand
[Bridge]
You, you moved into my mind again, oh
You walking around rent-free, oh
Oh, I could let you stay
But I'm walking on broken ground again
Oh, oh, when will I learn?
All you do is push me back in the dark
[Interlude]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
