E
You say hello like a long lost friend
                           B
And play me like an old violin
B
And in a day or two you're gone again
                          E
And I wonder why I keep  playing
E
I sit and watch the clouds each day
                                B 
Wondering when they will turn to  gray
B
And you come and go
B
Like a storm across the coast
B                                     E
And expect me to be thankful for the rain

E
Well I guess I should be thankful for
E
All the nights of straight downpours
E                             B
And soaking up every drop I   get
B
'Cause who knows how long I'll have to wait
B
'Til you come blowing back my way
B                                    E
I'm learning to be thankful for the  rain

E

E
I know when the morning comes
E                                B
The truth will rise up like the  sun
B
As I'm cleaning up the damage done
B                     E
There's everything I  prayed for

Solo: 
E--E--B

B
You come and go
B
Like a storm across the coast
B                                      E
And expect me to be thankful for the  rain
