Only love can make it rain the way the beach is kissed by the sea

     Ebmsus4                                    Ebmsus4/Db
Only love can make it rain like the sweat of lovers laying in the fields

On the dry and dusty road
F#            F#sus4/Ab
The nights we spent apart alone
F#        F#sus4/Ab      
I need to get back home
   Eb         Ab/Eb       Bb/Eb     Ab/Eb
To cool, cool rain

I can't sleep and I lay and I think, the night is hot and black as ink
Oh, god, I need a drink of cool, cool rain

[repeat chorus]
