[Bb] [C] [Eb]
[Cm] [Bb] [C] [Eb]
[Bb] Ooh, ooh.
Sunshine, blue skies,
please go away.
A girl has found another
and gone away.
[Eb] With her went my future.
My life is filled with gloom.
[Bb] So day after day,
I stay locked up in my room.
I know to [F] you,
It [Eb] might sound strange, [Bb] but I wish it would rain
Oh [Eb] yeah, yeah, yeah, [Cm] [Bb] yeah
Cause so badly I wanna go outside
But everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry
[Eb] Listen, I gotta cry
Cause crying [Bb] eases the pain, oh yeah
[Ebm] [F] Even this hurt I feel inside
[Eb] Words could never explain
I just wish [Bb] it would [Eb] rain
[F] [Eb] Oh, let it rain
Rain, [Bb] rain, rain
Oh, [Eb]
[Bb] let it rain
[Eb] Oh, yeah, [Bb] let it rain
[Eb]
[Bb] [Eb]
[Bb]
Day in, day out, my tears stay in phase
Passed against the window pane
My eyes such disguise
Desperately for rain
[Eb] Cause rain dropped behind my teardrop
And no one will ever know
That [Bb] I'm crying, crying
When I go outside
[F] To the world outside my tears
[Eb] I refuse to explain
Oh, I [Bb] wish it would [Cm] [D] [C] rain
[Eb]
Oh, let it [Bb] rain
[Eb] Let it rain
[Bb] Let it rain
I need rain to describe the tears in my [Eb] eyes
Oh, [Bb] let it rain
[Eb] Oh, yeah, yeah, listen
[Bb] I'm a man, I'm a god, who will cry
[Eb]
