Jars of Clay is a popular Christian alternative rock group formed while the band members attended Greenville College in Greenville, Illinois, United States in 1992. The group's sound has varied over the years as the band has experimented with pop, folk, rock, trip-hop, gospel, and hymnsong. Their self-titled album featured layered acoustic guitars over programmed trip-hop beats. The song "Flood" was the band's biggest crossover hit, and it hit #37 on the Billboard Hot 100 as well as #12 on the Modern Rock chart.

Guitar comes in with: F#AB (3x) GD
Vs 1 (bass only):
F#B Open up your box of sunshine F#B and smile as confetti comes raining down on you F#B You feel a lot like the good guy, but do you know why F# Everything's so blue
Vs 2 (guitar comes in):
F#B Well, love is fire and the coals are barely burning F#B Cold fills the emptiness that fills this empty place F#B I taught you the walk but then you ran away from me
and that's not how it's supposed to be
Chorus: F#AB I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind F#AB I know there's something else it's supposed to be F#AB I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind GD something's killing me
Vs 3: F#B Tearful confessions have watered down and broken down F#B the chance for unrequited love to finally reach its wall F#B you're waiting for the ax to fall Bsus4 Can't you see it lying on the ground?
