Intro: F Bb C F Bb C
 
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.
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?)
