Verse:
C                   F             C
It's hard to hide a lingering disappointment
    G7                         C    G7
But most of the time I wear it well
    C                                      F
But there are times when I just can't help remembering
                        C                G7              C   G7
The night you left that rainy night when my whole future fell


Chorus:
      C                      F
Rainy nights and memories go together
    C                                  G7
And with every drop of rain I feel the pain
      C                              F
I can almost hear my pleading on the night you were leaving
      C                  G7                C    G7
But I might as well have tried to stop the rain

Verse:
    C                 F                C
The blowing wind that moans outside my window
         G7                    C   G7
Seems to echo the closing of a door
       C                               F
For it was then I first realized I had heard your last goodbye
       C                G7               C
And my whole world went crumbling to the floor


Chorus:
      C                      F
Rainy nights and memories go together
    C                                  G7
And with every drop of rain I feel the pain
      C                              F
I can almost hear my pleading on the night you were leaving
      C                  G7                C    G7
But I might as well have tried to stop the rain
