Taking It All in Stride 
  
C           G 
Rainy days, rainy nights
C7                                 G7
Seems like it's been raining for a while
C                 G
Wind is blowing, ground is frozen
  C7             Am          G
I haven't seen a single soul smile

Empty house, cat calls
Lord this is a lonely time of year
Well I've lost you but I'm not through
And you won't see me shed a single tear

Chorus:
G 
I'll be taking it all in stride
               D    G              C 
Ain't going to run, ain't going to hide
         G                  D                    Am
I've got too much to give inside to give up my loving
          G
I will go up and I will go down
                 D      G   C 
But somehow I'll always be around
        G                        D                      Am
There's too much out there to be found to give up my loving

Not long ago you let me know
I was all that mattered in your life
You drank a toast, you said you loved me the most
I wondered could this really be right

Time's changing and love is strange
And nothing ever really lasts for long
Well I lost you but I'm not through
I know it's always dark before the dawn

Chorus twice
