Am                       G/B   

   When friends betray us

The pain reminds this heart, that this is not

Chorus 2:

                          G                              

What if your blessings come through raindrops

                         D/F#                      

What if Your healing comes through tears        

                  Em                              D

What if a thousand sleepless nights 

                     C

Are what it takes to know You're near

                        G                    

What if my greatest disappointments 

             D/F#              

Or the aching of this life

               Em                  D                                   

Is the revealing of a greater thirst 

          C                               G/B

This world can't satisfy

The rain, the storms, the hardest nights

                   D                     Am G D/F# C D Bm G 

Are your mercies in disguise
