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
