[Intro]
Am F G Cmaj7/E x2
 
 
 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 x2
 
 
 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

I'd lose the Ab in the chorus and stick on the Am until the G. There's also missed a line from the second verse "splashing in the ocean - i'm losing control, gray sky all around, can't feel my feet touching the ground". I think it sounds better with the capo on the third fret - but that's just my opinion! Sorry if I sound overly critical, just trying to help. Proverbs 3:5-6
