Slippery pearls Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Wha[C]t y[G]ou [Am]hold[C][G][C][G][Gm][G]
[Gm]back from the [C]minute,
the minute will lack
[Dsus4]If you don't claim [G]it from the hour,[Em]
then the [C]hour takes it back
[G]All I [Em]want will pass [C]quickly,
what remains is I [G]need
And mama don't make [C]no medicine
that'll cure that [G]disease
Nothing is cer[C]tain here in this world
[G]You dro[Em]p all your treasure[C]s
just like a slippery pearl
[G]Oh, it's hard to find the han[Em]dle
on the [C]things that [G]you see
Cause they're sliding right through your fin[C]gers just
like slippery [G]pearls[C][G][C][G]
[C][G]
What you don't lock [Gm]up
[C]inside your heart
The world will consume
[Dsus4]Might sli[D]p righ[G]t down
the [Em]throne of greed
Or through the [C]floorboards
[G]in your room
There's two [Em]thieves named
Pain and
[C]Pleasure and neither one [G]is true
You ransom your flesh [C]to save your bones
and they come and [G]take those too
Nothing is cer[C]tain here in this world
[G]You dro[Em]p all your treasure[C]s
just like slippery pearls
[G]Oh, it's hard to find a h[Em]andle on
the [C]things that you see
[G]Cause they slide right through your fin[C]gers just
like slippery [G]pearls[C][G][C][G]
[C][G]
They don't make a [Gm]map,
no to [C]guide you
Through the badlands of my soul
[Dsus4]You could lose your[G]self[Em]
to blind conceited
To the [C]hunger [G]for control
[Em]Try to guard i[C]t all from the elements
And still gonna fall [G]apart
Cause the world outside
don't [C]pose no threat
Like the darkness in [G]our hearts
Nothing's bet[C]ter here in [G]this world
You [Em]drop all your treas[C]ures
just like slippery pearls
[G]Oh, it's hard to find a han[Em]dle on
the [C]things that [G]you see
Cause they slide right through your [C]fin
gers just like slippery [G]pearls
Nothing, [C]nothing's [G]certain
[Em]Drop all your treas[C]ures
Just like a slippery [G]person
And it's hard to find a [Em]hand
On the [C]things that you [G]see
Let it all slide right through your fin[C]gers
Just like a slippery per[G]son
Nothing's [C]certain
Here in this [G]world
[Em]Drop all your [G]treas[C]ures
Just like slippery [G]pearls
I'm gonna [Em]hang on
All the [C]things that you [G]see
I'm gonna slide right
through your fin[C]gers
Just like slippery [G]pearls
Nothing's certain
you
