Oh, I wish it would [G]rain

I want to find some dark clouds
to hide in [D]me here.
[Cadd9]Oh, love in a [G]memory
[G]sparkles like [Cadd9]dia - [G]monds.
When the diamonds [G]fall, [D]they burn like [Em]te - [Cadd9]ars.

who [D]only cared for [Em]me.
Gonna [Cadd9]find that love of [G]twenty-two
here at [D]thirty-three.
I got a [G]heart on my right and [Cadd9]one on my [G]left
but [D]neither suits my [Em]needs,
'Cause the [Cadd9]one I love is [G]way out west
and [D]he never will need [G]me.

I want to [Cadd9]walk the streets of my [G]own hometown
Where everybody knows my [D]name.
[G]I wanna ride the waves down in [Cadd9][G]Galveston
When the [D]hurricanes blow [Em]in,
'Cause that [Cadd9]Gulf Coast water tastes [G]sweet as wine
when your [D]heart's rollin' home in the [G]wind.
