Standard Tuning



Verse 1:

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

I put a rose in the bible and placed it on my shelf





Chorus:

             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 didnt know now the things I never knew before





Verse 2:

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 riverbend

D

Singing our favorite songs

Em

Laughin and drinkin, smokin and smilin

C

Now those days are gone



             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 didnt 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

Somehow 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 didnt know now the things I never knew before

             G         D

Now when it rains, it pours

        Em

Wish I didnt know now

No I didnt know now

C

 What I knew before
