Intro

Am F G Cmaj7/E x2
Rain Rain on my face
It hasn't stopped raining for days
My world is a flood
Slowly I become one with the mud

Chorus

But if I can't swim after forty days
And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves
lift me up so high that I cannot fall
lift me up  
lift me up - when I am falling 
lift me up - I'm weak and I'm dying
lift me up - I need you to hold me
lift me up - keep me from dying again
Am G Em x2
Down pour on my soul
splashing in the ocean - I'm losing control
Dark sky all around
can't feel my feet touching the ground
But if I can't swim after forty days
And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves
lift me up so high that I cannot fall
lift me up  
lift me up - when I am falling 
lift me up - I'm weak and I'm dying 
lift me up - I need you to hold me
lift me up - keep me from dying again
Calm the storms that drench my eyes
So dry the steams still flowing 
Casting down waves and sin and gilt over flowing
But if I can't swim after forty days
And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves
lift me up so high that I cannot fall
lift me up  
lift me up - when I am falling 
lift me up - I'm weak and I'm dying 
lift me up - I need you to hold me
lift me up - keep me from dying again
