VERSE:
F
Night falls on the city, finds me all alone.
Bb C
Makes me wonder, should just go on home.
F
And I walk on up the stairs to see if you still there,
Bb C
would you mind if I found you alone?
Bb C F
Then a cold wind came calling,
Bb C F
strange how it knew me by name.
F
say the night will fade, but the pain’s gonna stay,
Bb C
makes me wonder, have you ever made love to me?
CHORUS:
F Bb
I can't stop the rain,
C F
here it comes again.
Bb
Lightning,
C F
strikes across the sky.
Bb G
I can't stop the rain,
F Bb
here it comes again.
C
Lightning,
Bb C F
only blinds my eyes.
VERSE:
F
Ain’t it sad when the only love I ever had,
Bb C
Just slips away, right through my fingers.
F
Ain’t it a shame when I think of your name,
Bb C
the only memory I have is of you
CHORUS:
F Bb
I can't stop the rain,
C F
here it comes again.
Bb
Lightning,
C F
strikes across the sky.
Bb G
I can't stop the rain,
F Bb
here it comes again.
C
It takes a witch,
(‘cause lightning)
Bb C F
to curse that God damn sky.
(only blinds my eyes…)
REPEAT AND FADE…
