Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

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)

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh
C     Dm     G     C
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh

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

If you give me good reason why I should stay
  C      Dm                    G      Am
I'll postpone my leavin' for another day
