         Cm             G#                      A#             Fm
Another human cloud to bring you down when you blew the last away
                 Cm                  G#                   A#                 Fm
And bring out a poisoned tongue or plastic crown, but for me, they look the same
Cm  G#                A#                Fm
Sometimes, it can get all too much for me
            Cm           G#                           A#           Fm
And that's why the photograph gets burned, throw the match in gasoline, a-ayy

G#                               A#
Don't let the ones who hurt you see you cry
G#                   A#
Tomorrow is another day

Chorus:
                    Cm       G#
You cannot stop the rain, no way
A#                            Fm              Cm    G#
Holdin' an umbrella when the grey clouds come over again
       A#              Fm                    Cm        G#
Tryna find somethin' real, but it's not the game they play
   A#                          Fm                    Cm         G#
Pretending that the weather is in your mind, you got no one to blame
            A#              Fm
But that's just the way I feel

                    Cm          G#           A#  Fm
You cannot stop the rain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
                    Cm          G#           A#  Fm
You cannot stop the rain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Another "I, me, mine" to blur the lines between love and then heartbreak
Oh, it's a lonely life thinkin' you're right and always shiftin' blame
And every time it's getting more and more ugly
And that's why the photograph gets burned, throw the match in gasoline, a-ayy

Don't let them tell you "Keep it all inside"
I know the winds have got to change

Chorus

You cannot stop the rain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You cannot stop the rain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

       Fm                     G#
And it seems like time can be so much
more than a wake-up call
          D#
And live real life
A#                                             Cm
Every day is a chance that we can start over, read my mind
            G#                                                  D#
There'll be ups and downs, but it won't change a thing between you and I
        A#
There's one thing I can't change

Chorus - x2

                    Cm          G#           A#    Fm
You cannot stop the rain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
                    Cm          G#           A#    Fm
You cannot stop the rain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
                   Cm      G#                  A#
Can't stop the rain, yeah, can't stop the rain, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Fm             Cm    G#                  A#
Can't stop the rain, can't stop the rain (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Fm             Cm  G#                   A#     Fm
Can't stop the rain (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
                            Cm          G#           A#    Fm
You know you can't stop the rain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
