G                      D            C
It was rainin' hard in Houston when I ran into her
                  G                        D
I searched for conversation but I was lost for words
       C                    D             G                C
Then a cloud of tear-filled memories came crashing down on me
                          G                C                   D
If it hadn't been for the pouring rain I'm sure she would have seen

[Chorus]
G            C   D            G  C
Tears in the rain, hidin' the pain
                      G                   D
Maybe she'd come back if she could see me cry
G              C  D                    G  Am
She thinks I'm so strong, oh but she's so wrong
         C                  D            G
She just couldn't see these tears in the rain

[Verse]
G                 D               C
Now I regret that moment 'cause I didn't let her know
                 G                      D
How much I still loved her I was hopin' it would show
        C                 D               G            C
But the raindrops and the teardrops ran together on my face
                  G            C                  D
Now she'll never, ever know no one could take her place

[Chorus]
G            C   D            G  C
Tears in the rain, hidin' the pain
                      G                   D
Maybe she'd come back if she could see me cry
G              C  D                    G  Am
She thinks I'm so strong, oh but she's so wrong
         C                  D            G
She just couldn't see these tears in the rain

[Outro]
G              C  D                    G  Am
She thinks I'm so strong, oh but she's so wrong
         C                  D            G
She just couldn't see these tears in the rain
