David Bowie - Quicksand: chords

      C
I'm closer to the Golden Dawn
                                   G
Immersed in Crowley's uniform of imagery
     C
I'm living in a silent film
                                       G
Portraying Himmler's sacred realm of dream reality
     D#
I'm frightened by the total goal
      F
I'm drawing to the ragged hole

       G             Em      C
And I ain't got the power anymore
                             G  Am7 A
No I ain't got the power anymore

          D
I'm the twisted name on Garbo's eyes
                                           A
I'm living proof of Churchill's lies, I'm destiny
     D
I'm torn between the light and dark
                                        A
Where others see their targets, divine symmetry
  F
Should I kiss the viper's fang
    G
Or herald loud the death of Man
     A              F#m              D
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
                              A
And I ain't got the power anymore

Chorus:
 A       E           F#m
Don't believe in yourself
        D#dim         E
Don't deceive with belief
          Edim                  Bm
Knowledge comes with death's release
     D#dim         A
Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah
F#m        C#m    E
Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaaha

I'm not a prophet or a stone age man
Just a mortal with potential of a superman, I'm living on
I'm tethered to the logic of Homo Sapien
Can't take my eyes from
the great salvation of bullshit faith
If I don't explain what you ought to know
You can tell me all about it on the next Bardo
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
And I ain't got the power anymore
