INTRO: INSTRUMENTALLY (PICK) 
F              C       Am   F      G            C 
I'll be waiting on the rain...and prayin' for a storm. 
  
VERSE ONE  
 

Am                   Em              F                     C 
She stares into that half full glass...and sits there all alone.  
Am                   Em     F                         G  
They should all know better...than to try to take her home. 
F                    C         E7                   Am   
She won't chance the heartache....but wants to love again, 
F               C     G                  C 
As the rain is ending...the storm in her begins. 
 
VERSE TWO  
 

Am                     Em       F                          C 
She pulls out of that smoky bar...and fighting back those tears. 
Am                      Em     F                            G 
Cause she recalls that feeling...that's broke her heart for years 
F                 C          E7                       Am    
And as the sun is sinking low...and the night returns again. 
F                      C                    G               C 
There's no one home to hold her now...when loneliness walks in. 


F                     C       F                       C   
Can't always count on sundown,..Can't always count on rain 
    F                          C         E7                   Am 
But,I can always count on her loneliness,...to bring her back again 
F                     C    E7                         Am     
And when the night is over.....she'll  leave me like before. 
F                      C    G                   C 
I'll be waiting on the rain...and prayin' for a storm.  
 
CHORUS (REPEAT INSTRUMENTALLY) 
 
VERSE THREE 
Am           Em       F                        C 
I'll keep on dreamin'...one day her heart will mend 
Am              Em    F                     G 
And she'll come to me...like a storm rangin in 
    F            C  E7                        Am    
And I'll let her in,..for as long as she will stay 
F              C         G               C 
For now, I am just a man...waiting on the rain 


F                     C         F                        C 
Can't always count on smoky bars,..Can't always count on wine 
F                              C         E7            Am 
But I can always count on her loneliness,..time after time. 
F                     C   E7                        Am     
And when the night is over...she'll  leave me like before. 
F                      C    G                   C  
I'll be waiting on the rain...and prayin' for a storm.

and...prayin' for a storm.
