Capo on 2nd fret
G D
Like a deer in the headlights, I stood frozen in my tracks
Em C
And the weight of the news it nearly broke my back
G D
It was late September, and I remember oh so well
Em C
Put a rose in the bible and placed it upon my shelf
G D
Now when it rains, it pours
Em C
Wish I didnt know now the things I never knew before
G D
Now when it rains, it pours
Em C
Wish I didn't know now the things I never knew before
G
Back then when we were 17
D
Time was on our side
Em
Holes in our jeans and a pocket full of dreams
C
The future was Friday night
G
And we would hangout down by the river bend
D
Singing our favourite songs
Em
Laughing and drinking, smoking and smiling
C
Now those days are gone
G D
When it rains, it pours
Em C
Wish I didn't know now the things I never knew before
G D
Now when it rains, it pours
Em C
Wish I didn't know now the things I know for sure
G D
Like a deer in the headlights, I stood frozen in my tracks
Em C
And the weight of you not here nearly broke my back
G
And the tears they fell like a monsoon
D
Underneath the cold fall moon
Em
And some how God put his hands on your shoulders
C
Way too, way too soon
G D
Now when it rains, it pours
Em C
Wish I didn't know now the things I never knew before
G D
Now when it rains, it pours
Em
Wish I didn't know now, No, I didn't know now
C
What I knew before
G D
When it rains, Oooh it pours
Em C
Wish I didn't know now, No, I didn't know now What I knew before
G D Em C
Oh, hey, yeah, oh, oh yeah, oh, oh yeah, oh, ooh yeah
G D
When it rains, rains, yeah, it pours
Em C G
Oooh, oooh, oh yeah
