                     Am                    C/G
I'm waiting for the rain, I'm waiting for you,
                      F               Em
I'm waiting for the rain to clean my soul.
                     Am                      C/G
I'm waiting for the rain, nothing's gonna be better
         F  Em
Without you.
             Dm/A                 Bsus4
The day you left me, the day you came
      B        Dm/A                    Bsus4
I'll never forget you, feel you in my pain.
     B           Gm                  Asus4
The time stood still, the time was flying
   A       Gm         Asus4  A
I wonder why I'm not dying.

I'm waiting for the sun, I'm waiting for a new day,
I'm waiting for the night to close my eyes.
I'm waiting for the dark, oh it's gonna be harder
Without you.
The way we danced I'll always miss,
I'll never forget The way we kissed.
The time stood still, the time was flying.
I wonder why I'm not dying.
