       G          D7           G                        G7
It's rainin' so hard, looks like it's going to rain all night
C                              Cm
   And this is the time, I'd love to be holding you tight
      G                    D7       G                    C
But I guess I'll have to accept the fact that you're not here
  A7                               D7        Daug
I wish tonight would hurry up and end, my dear

[Verse]
         G          D7     G                 G7
It's rainin' so hard, it's really coming down
C                                       Cm
   Sittin' by my window, watchin' the rain fall to the ground
G               D7     G                     C
This is the time, I'd love to be holding you tight
  A7                 D7       G
I guess I'll just go crazy tonight

[Verse]
       G           D7 G                     G7
It's rainin' so hard, brings back memories
C                      Cm
   Of the time when you were here with me
G              D7     G               C
Counting every drop, about to blow my top
  A7                               D7         Daug
I wish this rain would hurry up and stop

[Verse]
  G                   D7          G                      G7
I got the blues, so bad, I could hardly catch my breath
C                          Cm
   The harder it rains, the worse it get
G           D7        G                      C
This is the time, I'd love to be holding you tight
  A7                 D7      G
I guess I'll just go crazy tonight
