"Sinking" - Jars of Clay (Tabbed by Caleb Otte)
The other versions were just fine, I just wanted to make a few small corrections. Hope you like it.

Standard tuning, Capo on 3rd fret

INTRO
E                    Gadd9 (x2)         

1ST VERSE
E                    Gadd9
         It's not my problem anymore
E                   Asus2  Gadd9
   You see it never really was
E                    Gadd9
     So you can stop caring as you call it
E                   Asus2  Gadd9
   and I'll be fine right  here

PRE-CHORUS
Asus2                      Gadd9
 You see that I can play a pretty convincing role
Asus2                      Cadd9      Dsus2
 So I don't need you, I don't think I need you

CHORUS
E                          Asus2          Am               E
 But you see through my forever lies, and you are not    believing
E                          Asus2          Am               E
 And I see in your      forever eyes, that you are forever healing

2ND VERSE
E                    Gadd9
 You can't hear what I'm not saying
E                   Asus2 Gadd9
 And I can hold out long  enough
E                    Gadd9
 Treading water, I   keep from sinking
E                   Asus2 Gadd9
 I'm not one        for reaching

PRE-CHORUS
Asus2                          Gadd9
 You see that I can play a pretty convincing role
Asus2                          Cadd9      Dsus2
 So I don't need you, I don't think I need you

CHORUS
E                          Asus2          Am               E
 But you see through my forever lies, and you are not    believing
E                          Asus2          Am               E
 And I see in your      forever eyes, that you are forever healing

BRIDGE
   Asus2  Am    Asus2 Am
 Deny my  self, deny my heart
    E
 Deny your hand, deny your help
    Asus2  Am   Asus2 Am 
And you offer me   eternity
    Cadd9      Dsus2
But why should I buy that?

INSTRUMENTAL

(Note: There is a piano part in this instrumental that can be mimicked by 
hammering-on the 2nd fret of the high E, every other strum or so. That's 
how I play it, and it sounds really cool, and more like the song.)

E                        Asus2            Am (x2)

E                        Asus2            Am (x2)
         Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,      Oh, oh, oh, oh 

PRE-CHORUS
Asus2                          Gadd9
 You see that I can play a pretty convincing role
Asus2                          Cadd9      Dsus2
 So I don't need you, I don't think I need you

CHORUS (x2)
E                          Asus2          Am               E
 But you see through my forever lies, and you are not    believing
E                          Asus2          Am               E
 And I see in your      forever eyes, that you are forever healing

OUTRO
E                    Asus2 Gadd9
E                    Asus2 Gadd9
               Oh, oh, oh, oh

Let final chord (Gadd9) ring out

There you have it! Thanks!
