[Verse 1]

Am
  Quicksand is a coat of arms,
C
 Looseleaf and some liquid fiction.
G
 Last Rites every Friday night,
     F
Am I weaker with the lights on?

Am
  High tide tight around the neck,
C
  The same song everybody's bleeding.
F
  What makes me so different?
    G
The insides work the same.


[Pre-Chorus 1]

Am                  C                        G
  You ever fear the dark impressions of your future?
                         F
The slightest gravestone whisper?
                       (Am)
The stillness of your heart?
Am                  C
  I feel it growing dark.
                G
A fever inching deeper,
                F
A fever inching to the core.


[Chorus]

C
  I'll kick tomorrow,
G
  Fight back at the pouring rain.
Am                        F
  I'll send the weak ends down the drain, down the drain.
C
  I'll kick tomorrow,
G
  Fight back at the pouring rain.
Am                        F
  I'll send the weak ends down the drain, down the drain.

[Verse 2]

Am
  Shorelines all around the world,
C
  Bright lights and some heavy breathing.
G
  Lipstick and the dagger's kiss-
       F
Just a figment of a feeling.

Am
  Hands pressed up against the chest,
C
  Holding out for the big connection.
G
  Last lunge never looked so good,
       F
It's a junk show all the way.


[Pre-Chorus 2]

Am                     C
  As years go crashing by,
                    G
I think of all I've pondered,
                F
So many minutes squandered,
                 (Am)
So many things undone.
Am                     C
  I've tried to figure out
                    G                      F
How many lives I've wasted waiting for the perfect time to start.


[Chorus]

C
  I'll kick tomorrow,
G
  Fight back at the pouring rain.
Am                        F
  I'll send the weak ends down the drain, down the drain.
C
  I'll kick tomorrow,
G
  Fight back at the pouring rain.
Am                        F
  I'll send the weak ends down the drain, down the drain.


[Bridge]

C
  I'll kick tomorrow...
C                              G
  I'll send the weak ends...
C
  I'll kick tomorrow...
C                         N.C.
  I'll send the weak ends...
C                      F
  I'll kick tomorrow...
Am                           G
  I'll send the weak ends...
C                      F
  I'll kick tomorrow... (fight back at the pouring rain)
Am                        G
  I'll send the weak ends... (fight back at the pouring rain)


[Chorus]

C
  I'll kick tomorrow,
G
  Fight back at the pouring rain.
Am                        F
  I'll send the weak ends down the drain, down the drain.
C
  I'll kick tomorrow,
G
  Fight back at the pouring rain.
Am                        F
  I'll send the weak ends down the drain, down the drain.
