Intro chords:    F Bb C F Bb C 

F 
VERSE:        
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?

F                       Bb 
CHORUS:        
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.

F 
VERSE:        
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

F                        Bb 
CHORUS:        
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…
