F C Am F G C
I'll be waiting on the rain...and prayin' for a storm.
[Verse]
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]
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.
[Chorus]
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]
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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.

I'll be waiting on the rain.
F G C
and...prayin' for a storm.
