Intro: F5 Bb5 C5 F5 Bb5 C5
 
F5
Night falls on the city, finds me all alone.
                   Bb5                                     C5
Makes me wonder, should just go on home.
        F5
And I walk on up the stairs to see if you still there,
                  Bb5                          C5
would you mind if I found you alone?
             Bb5   C5                F5
Then a cold wind came calling,
Bb5                     C5               F5
strange how it knew me by name.
              F5
say the night will fade, but the pain?s gonna stay,
                    Bb5                                     C5
makes me wonder, have you ever made love to me?

CHORUS:
F5                       Bb5
I can't stop the rain,
C5                      F5
here it comes again.
Bb5
Lightning,
C5                         F5
strikes across the sky.
Bb5                     G5
I can't stop the rain,
F5                    Bb5
here it comes again.
C5
Lightning,
                        Bb5 C5 F5
only blinds my eyes.
F5
Ain?t it sad when the only love I ever had,
       Bb5                                         C5
Just slips away, right through my fingers.
F5
Ain?t it a shame when I think of your name,
       Bb5                                C5
the only memory I have is of you

CHORUS:
F5                        Bb5
I can't stop the rain,
C5                     F5
here it comes again.
Bb5
Lightning,
C5                           F5
strikes across the sky.
Bb5                     G5
I can't stop the rain,
F5                     Bb5
here it comes again.
                  C5
It takes a witch,

(?cause lightning)
                                      Bb5 C5 F5
to curse that God damn sky.
(only blinds my eyes?)
