Chords

[Verse 1]
                   D
If ever there was a reason

                  D
To dance around the sun

                       Em
That you may discover in time

                      A
You may need to cut and run

                       G
You say you like rainy weather

                          D
Like they have in the Northwest

               Em
Or maybe Calif-ornia

                      A
Where everything seems best
[Verse 2]
                   D
If ever there was a reason

                          D
To get the lead out of your feet

                          Em
To the songs of saints and sinners

                        A
Take the bitter with the sweet

                   G
You can see the rainbows

                             D
As something more than colored sky

                     Em
All the fury of the downpour

                    A
Can be a blessing in disguise
[Solo] D D Em A [Bridge]
Bm                 A
Get ahead of your demons

 D                   G
Draw the line at your command

Bm                     A
All your forces moving forward

       F#m                G
Throw it down that hat in hand
[Verse 3]
                        D
Time and tide wait for no one

                        D
Put your shoulder to the wheel

                     Em
Give your best and take flight

                      A
Use your smile as your shield

                  G
You may fall on stony ground

                      D
Hold the line and stay sound

                        Em
With the company that you keep

                A
Still waters run deep
[Verse 4]
                        D
Cast your bread upon the waters

                            D
Keep the love that's in your heart

                          Em
Use the knowledge that you gain

                         A
Keep your soul as right as rain

                  G
You can see the rainbows

                             D
As something more than colored sky

                    Em
All the fury of the downpour

                    A
Can be a blessing in disguise
[Solo] D D Em A [Outro]
                 G
You can see the rainbows

                           D
As something more than colored sky

                   Em
All the fury of the downpour

                    A
Can be a blessing in disguise
