Intro chords: F Bb C F Bb C

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?
