Verse 1:





Bbsus4   EbM              Bbsus4  Cmaj7          

          The rain fell down          in my life today

Bbsus4   EbM              Bbsus4  Cmaj7

                    and I almost  drowned

Bbsus4   EbM              Bbsus4  Cmaj7

            Sometimes the happiness     just all fades away

Bbsus4   EbM              Bbsus4  Cmaj7

                   And it can't be found

      Cmaj7      Bbsus4      Cmaj7      Bbsus4

But I won't give up    No, I won't give in

      Cmaj7     Bbsus4       Cmaj7      Bbsus4 

cause after the night  a new day will begin





Chorus:

       EbM                     Ab2 

Oh the sun will come up, gonna shine again

        Cmaj7                    Ab2  Bbsus4

See the clouds roll away and the rain end

       Ebm                 Ab2  

I know after it all I will live again

     Cmaj7            Ab2   Bbsus4

It's only a matter of time

         EbM                     Ab2 

Till I'm back on my feet and I'm standing tall

      Cmaj7                 Ab2      Bbsus4

No it won't keep me down, I will not fall

       EbM                            Ab2        Bbsus4

I know you're by my side, you help me through it all

       Cmaj7           Ab2   Bbsus4     

You're with me all the way





Verse 2:





The waters rise above my head

It's a churning flood 

Make me feel like givin' in

or even wish that I was dead

But then you pull me out

And you lift me up to a higher place

to a refuge of hope, sheltered in your embrace





Chorus





Refrain

Gm                          Cmaj7 

When storms arrive and vile tempests blow

Gm                           Cmaj7

There's only one safe harbor that I know

Gm                               Cmaj7

You calm the storm, you calm the raging sea

Gm                           Cmaj7     Bbsus4

And you will never turn your love from me





Chorus
