 G 
Sunshine, blue skies, please go away. 

My girl has found another and gone away. 

 C  
With her went my future, my life is filled with gloom. 

  G 
So day after day, I stayed locked up in my room. 

                D                                 C 
I know to you it might sound strange. 

                     G 
But I wish it would rain. (How I wish that it would rain) 

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

  
 G 
'Cause so badly I wanna go outside. (Such a lovely day) 

But everyone knows that a man ain't suppose to cry, listen. 

 C                                                           G 
I gotta cry 'cause cryin' eases the pain, oh yeah. 

                      D                                C 
People this hurt I feel inside, words can never explain. 

                                   G 
I just wish it would rain. (Oh, how I wish that it would rain) 


G 
Day in, day out, my tear stained face 

Pressed against the window pane. 

My eyes search the skies, desperately for rain. 

                C 
'Cause raindrops will hide my teardrops. 

And no one will ever know. 

                 G 
That I'm cryin'... cryin' when I go outside. 

               D                                            C 
To the world outside my tears, I refuse to explain. 

                                    G                                                        C    G 
Oh, I wish it would rain. (Oh, how I wish that it would rain) 

Ooo, baby.
