Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: C

C   Dm         Am    C
If you give me good reason why I should stay
 C   Dm          G   Am
I'll postpone my leavin' for another day
   C     Dm         Am     C
I'm afraid we've hit dry season and you ain't changed
     C     Dm       G   C
But you know I'm patient when it comes to rain

 C     Dm          Am    C
You ain't never loved me at least I don't think
C    Dm          G    Am
I was ever thirsty when you saw me drink
       C    Dm           Am   C
I've been looking through the dirty on this window paint
     C     Dm       G    C
But you know I'm patient when it comes to rain

Am                   G
I don't know if I can wash away the stains
     F                 G
But as long as cloud stands I will always wait

    C    Dm          Am      C
And I know you got your buddies but where are they now?
 C    Dm            G     Am
You can't only want me when these lights go down
    C   Dm           Am    C
And I know we ain't no burden but we feel the strain
     C   Dm       G    C
And I'm always patient when it comes to rain

 C    Dm          Am      C
Looking for a quick drink boy you move too fast
   C     Dm          G   Am
'Cuz you ain't never sippin', so it never lasts
     C  Dm               Am    C
So, will you stay out there wasting all our numbered days?
     C    Dm        G    C
But you know I'm waiting for that drop of rain

Am                  G
I don't know if I can wash away the stains
 F                     G
But as long as cloud stands I will always wait

C   Dm  Am  C
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh
C   Dm   G   AM
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh

(If you give me good reason, yeah, yeah why I should stay)
C   Dm   Am  C
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh
C   Dm   G   C
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Am                   G
I don't know if I can wash away the stains
F                     G
But as long as cloud stands I will always wait

  C    Dm         Am    G
If you give me good reason why I should stay
 C   Dm          G   Am
I'll postpone my leavin' for another day
   C     Dm         Am      G
I'm afraid we've hit dry season and you ain't changed
     C    Dm        G    C
But you know I'm patient when it comes to rain
