Cmaj7/E

[Intro]

Am F G Cmaj7/E

Am G Em

Rain Rain on my face

Am G Em

It hasn't stopped raining for days

Am G Em

My world is a flood

Am G Em

Slowly I become one with the mud

[Chorus]

Am G Em

But if I can't swim after forty days

Am G Em

And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves

Am G Em

lift me up so high that I cannot fall

Am G Em

lift me up

Am F G Em

lift me up - when I am falling

Am F G Em

lift me up - I'm weak and I'm dying

Am F G Em

lift me up - I need you to hold me

Am F G Em

lift me up - keep me from dying again

Am G Em

Down pour on my soul

Am G Em

splashing in the ocean - I'm losing control

Am G Em

Dark sky all around

Am G Em

can't feel my feet touching the ground

Am G Em

But if I can't swim after forty days

Am G Em

And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves

Am G Em

lift me up so high that I cannot fall

Am G Em

lift me up

Am F G Em

lift me up - when I am falling

Am F G Em

lift me up - I'm weak and I'm dying

Am F G Em

lift me up - I need you to hold me

Am F G Em

lift me up - keep me from dying again

Am F G Em

Calm the storms that drench my eyes

Am F G Em

So dry the steams still flowing

Am F G Em

Casting down waves and sin and gilt over flowing

Am G Em

But if I can't swim after forty days

Am G Em

And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves

Am G Em

lift me up so high that I cannot fall

Am G Em

lift me up

Am F G Em

lift me up - when I am falling

Am F G Em

lift me up - I'm weak and I'm dying

Am F G Em

lift me up - I need you to hold me

Am F G Em

lift me up - keep me from dying again
