INTRO: INSTRUMENTALLY (PICK) 
F5              C5       A5   F5      G5            C5 
I'll be waiting on the rain...and prayin' for a storm. 
  
VERSE ONE  
 

A5                   E5              F5                     C5 
She stares into that half full glass...and sits there all alone.  
A5                   E5     F5                         G5  
They should all know better...than to try to take her home. 
F5                    C5         E5                   A5   
She won't chance the heartache....but wants to love again, 
F5               C5     G5                  C5 
As the rain is ending...the storm in her begins. 
 
VERSE TWO  
 

A5                     E5       F5                          C5 
She pulls out of that smoky bar...and fighting back those tears. 
A5                      E5     F5                            G5 
Cause she recalls that feeling...that's broke her heart for years 
F5                 C5          E5                       A5    
And as the sun is sinking low...and the night returns again. 
F5                      C5                    G5               C5 
There's no one home to hold her now...when loneliness walks in. 


F5                     C5       F5                       C5   
Can't always count on sundown,..Can't always count on rain 
    F5                          C5         E5                   A5 
But,I can always count on her loneliness,...to bring her back again 
F5                     C5    E5                         A5     
And when the night is over.....she'll  leave me like before. 
F5                      C5    G5                   C5 
I'll be waiting on the rain...and prayin' for a storm.

VERSE THREE 
A5           E5       F5                        C5 
I'll keep on dreamin'...one day her heart will mend 
A5              E5    F5                     G5 
And she'll come to me...like a storm rangin in 
    F5            C5  E5                        A5    
And I'll let her in,..for as long as she will stay 
F5              C5         G5               C5 
For now, I am just a man...waiting on the rain 


F5                     C5         F5                        C5 
Can't always count on smoky bars,..Can't always count on wine 
F5                              C5         E5            A5 
But I can always count on her loneliness,..time after time. 
F5                     C5   E5                        A5     
And when the night is over...she'll  leave me like before. 
F5                      C5    G5                   C5  
I'll be waiting on the rain...and prayin' for a storm.
