Flood-Jars of Clay

the song real well (ie Abmaj7 play Ab or Ab7)

Vs1 (C2 I think)
Rain, rain on my face, hasn't stopped raining for days.

My world is a flood, slowly I become one with the mud.

But if I can't swim after for - ty days, and my mind is crushed by the crash - ing waves,

	           I need you to hold me	          	      	keep me from drown - ing again
Lift me up			        	  Lift me up


Vs2 (Sing an octave higher)  C2
Down-pour on my soul,   splashing ocean, I'm losing control.

Dark sky all around,   can't feel my feet touching the ground.


Chorus
          C2	     Bb6	          Gm7		       C2	        Bb6		Gm7
But if I can't swim after for - ty days, and my mind is crushed by the crash - ing waves,

Lift me up       so high that I can - not fall, lift me oh         woh

	Cm     Abmaj7         Bb6      Ebmaj7/G     Cm		  Abmaj7	       Ebmaj7/G
	          when I'm falling		     when I'm weak and dying
Lift me up			         Lift me up			

	Cm        Abmaj7	      Bb6      Ebmaj7/G     Cm	Abmaj7		Bb6          
	           I need you to hold me	          	      	keep me from drown - ing again
Lift me up			        	  Lift me up


Vs3 (Bb6 I think)
Calm the storms that drench my eyes and dry the streams still flowing,

Casting down all waves and sin and guilt that overthrow me.


Play the chorus a few more times and end on C2sus4
