Flood

Jars Of Clay

key:

Intro: C, G#, A#, D#

C     A#          G
Rain, rain on my face
C     A#          G
It hasn't stopped raining for days
C     A#          G
My world is a flood
C     A#          G
Slowly I become one with the mud

Chorus:

C                A#             G
But if I can't swim after forty days
C                A#             G
and my mind is crushed by the thrashing waves
C                A#             G
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall
C     A#          G
Lift me up
C       G#      A#      D#
Lift me up - when I'm falling
C       G#      A#      D#
Lift me up - I'm weak and I'm dying
C       G#      A#      D#
Lift me up - I need you to hold me
C       G#      A#      D#
Lift me up - Keep me from drowning again

C     A#          G
Downpour on my soul
C     A#          G
Splashing in the ocean, I'm losing control
C     A#          G
Dark sky all around
C     A#          G
I can't feel my feet touching the ground

[Chorus]

C     A#          G
Calm the storms that drench my eyes
C     A#          G
Dry the streams still flowing
C     A#          G
Cast down all the waves of sin
C     A#          G
And guilt that overthrow me

[Chorus]

C     A#          G
Lift me up - when I'm falling
C     A#          G
Lift me up - I'm weak and I'm dying
C     A#          G
Lift me up - I need you to hold me
C     A#          G
Lift me up - Keep me from drowning again
