Jamey Johnson - Thankful for the rain

^EYou say, "Hello", like a long lost friend And play me like an old viol^Bin ^BIn a day or two, you're gone again And I wonder why I keep^E playin'

^EI sit and watch the clouds each day Wonderin' when they'll turn t^Bo gray ^BAnd you come and you go, like a storm across the coast And expect me to be thankful ^Efor the rain

^EWell, I guess I should be thankful for ^EAll the nights of straight downpours I'm soakin' up every drop^B I get ^B'Cause who knows how long I'll have to wait ^B'Til you come blowin' back my way I'm learnin' to be thankful ^Efor the rain

^EI know when the mornin' comes The truth will rise up like the s^Bun ^B'Cause I'm cleanin' up the damage done That's everything I^E prayed for

^BYou come and you go, like a storm across the coast And expect me to be thankful for the rain^E
