THE WATER

Intro:  E – B – C#m – A (x2)

[E]Quicksand, [B]my heart is sinking 
[C#m]I try to run but I [A]can’t stop thinking 
[E]I’m climbin’ walls, [B]I’m on the ceilin’ 
[C#m]It’s gonna take a [A]miracle to heal me [E – B – C#m – A]

[E]I’m starin’ down [B]into the quarry 
[C#m]I see a stone for [A]every sorry 
[E]I’m on the edge, [B]I’m goin under and
[C#m]After I die I’m gonna [A]rise from the water [E – B – C#m – A]

I wanna [E]blast off, 
Let gravity [B]disappear 
I’m tired of [C#m]fallin, fallin, fallin 
From the [A]weight of fear 
Come and lift [E]me up 
Into the [B]clean and clear 
I’m [C#m]waitin’ on you Jesus in the [A]water here 
So [C]come and [D]wash me clean [E – B – C#m – A]

[E]The sky is red, there’s [B]blood on my hands 
[C#m]I can’t deny, I’m [A]guilty where I stand 
[E]The verdict’s in, I [B]hear them shoutin’ 
[C#m]Send me a river to [A]drown this mountain [E – B – C#m – A]

(Repeat Chorus) 

[C#m – A – E – B] repeat
Wash me clean... 
Let it wash me, let is wash me, let it wash me clean 

(Repeat Chorus)

[E – B – C#m – A]
Let it wash me, let it wash me, let it wash me clean
