Song: 'SINKING' Artist: JARS OF CLAY Album: Self-Titled ' 1995 BridgeBuilding Music (BMI)/ Pogostick Music (BMI) All Rights Reserved. Transcribed by James Lee (LJKC STUDIOz =) (ikrnboii@aol.com) This song can be found on Jars of Clay's 1st album. It's the second song on the CD. I haven't seen anyone play this, including Jars of Clay, but I think i'm pretty accurate with the chords, although not entirely correct. They are written so that it will be VERY easy for the guitarist to play... CAPO ON 3RD FRET (all chords relative to Capo) INTRO: E G E G 1ST VERSE:

^EIt's ^Gnot my problem anymore ^EYou s^Aee it^G never really was ^ESo yo^Gu can stop 'caring' as you call it ^Eand I^A'll b^Ge fine right here

BRIDGE:

^AYou see^G that I can play a pretty convincing role ^ASo I do^Cn't n^Deed you, I don't think I need you

CHORUS:

^EBut you^A see through my forever lies ^AmAnd you are not be^Elieving ^AAnd I see in your forever eyes ^AmThat y^Eou ^Gare forever healing

SECOND VERSE: You can't hear what I'm not saying And I can hold out long enough Treading water I keep from sinking I'm not one for reaching You see that I can play a pretty convincing role So I don't need you, I don't think I need you CHORUS

^ADeny myself, deny my heart ^GDeny your hand, deny your help ^AAnd you^Am offer me eternity ^CBut why^D should I buy that'

GUITAR SOLO: (vocals: 'WHOA.......') E A Am (2x before vocals come in) E A Am (2x with vocals) then the rest just pretty much goes from the bridge to the chorus...
