A E Like a deer in the headlights, I stood frozen in my tracks Fm D And the weight of the news, It nearly broke my back A E It was late september, and I remember oh so well Fm D I put a rose in the bible and placed it on my shelf A E Now when it rains, it pours Fm D Wish I didnt know now the things I never knew before A E Now when it rains, it pours Fm D Wish I didnt know now the things I never knew before A E Back then when we were 17 Time was on our side Fm Holes in our jeans and a pocket full of dreams D The future was Friday night A And we would hangout down by the riverbend E Singing our favorite songs Fm Laughin and drinkin, smokin and smilin D Now those days are gone A E Now when it rains, it pours Fm D Wish I didnt know now the things I never knew before A E Now when it rains, it pours Fm D Wish I didnt know now the things I know for shore A E Like a deer in the headlights, I stood frozen in my tracks Fm D And the weight of you not here nearly broke my back A And the tears they fell like a monsoon E Underneath the cold fall moon Fm Somehow God put his hands on your shoulders D Way too, way too soon A E Now when it rains, it pours Fm D Wish I didnt know now the things I never knew before A E Now when it rains, it pours Fm Wish I didnt know now No I didnt know now D What I knew before A E Fm D A E Fm D A E Fm D A Have Fun!
