Standard (EADGBE)

I'm no stranger to the rain

I'm a friend of thunder

Friend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me

I've fought with the devil

Got down on his level

But I never gave in, so he gave up on me

2nd verse:

I'm no stranger to the rain

I can spot bad weather

And I'm good at finding shelter in a downpour

I've been sacrificed by brothers

Crucified by lovers

But through it all I withstood the pain

I'm no stranger to the rain

Bridge

But when I get that foggy feeling

When I'm feeling down

If I don't keep my head up, I may drown

But it's hard to keep believing

I'll even come out even

While the rain beats your hope in the ground

And tonight it's really coming down

3rd verse:

I'm no stranger to the rain

But there'll always be tomorrow

And I'll beg, steal, or borrow a little sunshine

And I'll put this cloud behind me

That's how the man designed me

To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane

I'm no stranger to the rain

Oh no, I'm no stranger to the rain
