Standard (EADGBE)

Rainy days, rainy nights

Seems like it's been raining for a while

Wind is blowing, ground is frozen

 I haven't seen a single soul smile

Empty house, cat calls

Lord this is a lonely time of year

Well I've lost you but I'm not through

And you won't see me shed a single tear

Chorus

I'll be taking it all in stride

 Ain't going to run, ain't going to hide

 I've got too much to give inside to give up my loving

 I will go up and I will go down

 But somehow I'll always be around

 There's too much out there to be found to give up my loving

Not long ago you let me know

I was all that mattered in your life

You drank a toast, you said you loved me the most

I wondered could this really be right

Time's changing and love is strange

And nothing ever really lasts for long

Well I lost you but I'm not through

I know it's always dark before the dawn

Chorus twice
