Verse 1 

        E 
My left windshield wiper’s twisted

And it ain’t workin’ too well. 
             C#m                            A 
And Lord the latest lie I’m drivin’ through tonight  
                        B 
Is giving my conscience hell… 
    A   
The coffee’s tastin’ salty from the tears -  
                    E 
But they’re not for myself.

Lord we both know who’s to blame.

So when she wakes up tomorrow

Can you ease up on the rain?

She could use some sunshine in her life.

Help her pass the pain  
  A 
A little bit of comfort 
      E               D              A 
After everything that I have put her through.

If it’s all the same to you

Could you ease up on the rain?

       E 
It’s a little past midnight  
      A                            E 
But a long way from settin’ things straight. 
                 C#m 
And Lord there’s nothing like a heartache  
A               E 
For keeping you awake. 
       A 
Lord I don’t think she expects the emptiness  
                          E 
That’s coming up with the dawn. 
         D               A 
When she figures out I’m gone. 
          E 
She might need a little mercy

Help her pass the pain  
  A 
A little bit of comfort 
      E                 D              A 
After all the hell that I have put her through. 
        E                        
If it’s all the same to you Lord  
B                        E     A 
Could you ease up on the rain? 
         E 
Lord she needs a little mercy  
B                        E 
Could you ease up on the rain?
