Sweet Relief by Tyler James
VERSE
Sweet relief to wake to the rain
Upon my roof in the attic by my bed
Loud enough to wake me to the visions
That had come taken root in the night
CHORUS
Oh trouble be gentle when you bring me pain
Oh trouble be soft like the morning rain
But don’t stop when I tell ya
Turn your ear when I beg for you to leave
Til you’ve taught me and I’ve learned from thee
VERSE
Sweet relief to know that the spirit of change
Receives me in its arms
But what’s it take to know and recognize
The touch of wisdom when it greets me with a fight
CHORUS
Oh trouble be gentle when you bring me pain
Oh trouble be soft like the morning rain
But don’t stop when I tell ya
Turn your ear when I beg for you to leave
Til you’ve taught me and I’ve learned from thee
BRIDGE
Oh trouble, do I hear my name
When you’re talking behind closed doors?
Is it debts unpaid of the money I’ve made
That brings you back once more?

CHORUS
Oh trouble be gentle when you bring me pain
Oh trouble be soft like the morning rain
But don’t stop when I tell ya
Turn your ear when I beg for you to leave
Til you’ve taught me and I’ve learned from thee
Interlude
[C ] [F ] (X’s 6)
All my life I’ve fought with you
Trying to make my way through
The pouring rain (X’s 2)
