A If it's gonna rain I hope it pours 
thunder and D lightning like never before 
'cause that's how I A *{G#}{F#} feel here in my D heart 
if it's gonna A rain E let the storm A start 
 
If you're gonna leave go on and go 
don't even D look back when you hit the road 
if that's how you A *{G#}{F#} feel about you and D me 
now's a good A time so E go on and A leave 
 
I've D never been one for doin' A something half the way 
F I've loved you with all my heart but E it's all been in vain 
 
It's gonna A hurt cut to the bone 
break my heart in D two when you hit the road 
I'm gonna A *{G#}{F#} cry a river of D tears 
it's gonna A rain and rain and E rain 
'round here for A years
