_ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Rainy [F#m] days and rainy [D] nights, seems [G] like it's been raining for a while
_ [G] The wind is blowing, _ [D] ground is frozen, [E] I haven't seen [Em] a single [D] soul smile _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ Empty [D] halls, kept cold, [G] Lord this is a lonely time [D] of year
_ [C] _ [G] You are blushing [D] but I'm not through, [Em] and you won't [G] see me shed [D] a single tear
_ _ _ I will be taking it on _ stride, I ain't gonna [A] run and I ain't gonna [G] hide
_ Cause I [D] got too much to give [A] inside, to give up on [Em] loving days
_ _ [G] _ _ [A] If [D] I walk then I will go down, but somehow I'll always be in your [G] mind
_ Cause there's [D] too much I better [A] require, to give up [Bm] on love _ _ _ _ _ _

[G] _ Not long [D] ago you let me know, [G] I was all that mattered in your [D] life _
[G] You drank a toast, you [D] said you loved me the most and I wondered, [E] did [Em] this really feel [D] right? _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] Times change, [D] love is strange, [G] nothing ever really lasts for long
_ _ [G] _ I'm blushing but [D] I'm not through, _ [Em] I know it's always dark [D] before the _ dawn
_ I will be taking it on stride, I ain't [A] gonna run [D] and I ain't gonna [G] hide
Cause I [D] got too much to give [A] inside, to give up on [Em] love
_ _ [G] _ _
I will [D] go up and I will go down, but [A] somehow I'll always be [G] around _
