Like a deer in the headlights, I stood frozen in my tracks
        [ch]Fm[/ch]                            [ch]D[/ch]

And the weight of the news, It nearly broke my back
[ch]A[/ch]                              [ch]E[/ch]        

It was late september, and I remember oh so well
        [ch]Fm[/ch]                             [ch]D[/ch]

I put a rose in the bible and placed it on my shelf
         [ch]A[/ch]             [ch]E[/ch]

Now when it rains, it pours
        [ch]Fm[/ch]                              [ch]D[/ch]

Wish I didnt know now the things I never knew before
         [ch]A[/ch]             [ch]E[/ch]

Now when it rains, it pours        
        [ch]Fm[/ch]                              [ch]D[/ch]

Wish I didnt know now the things I never knew before        [ch]A[/ch]                         [ch]E[/ch]

Back then when we were 17 Time was on our side     [ch]Fm[/ch]                              

Holes in our jeans and a pocket full of dreams
 [ch]D[/ch]

The future was Friday night
[ch]A[/ch]

And we would hangout down by the riverbend
[ch]E[/ch]

Singing our favorite songs
[ch]Fm[/ch]

Laughin and drinkin, smokin and smilin
[ch]D[/ch]

Now those days are gone
            [ch]A[/ch]           [ch]E[/ch]

Now when it rains, it pours
        [ch]FM[/ch]                                       [ch]D[/ch]

Wish I didnt know now the things I never knew before
            [ch]A[/ch]            [ch]E[/ch]

Now when it rains, it pours
        [ch]Fm[/ch]                                   [ch]D[/ch]

Wish I didnt know now the things I know for shore  [ch]A[/ch]                                      [ch]E[/ch]

Like a deer in the headlights, I stood frozen in my tracks
         [ch]Fm[/ch]                                     [ch]D[/ch]

And the weight of you not here nearly broke my back
        [ch]A[/ch]

And the tears they fell like a monsoon
    [ch]E[/ch]

Underneath the cold fall moon
         [ch]Fm[/ch]                             

Somehow God put his hands on your shoulders
[ch]D[/ch]

Way too, way too soon
            [ch]A[/ch]            [ch]E[/ch]    

Now when it rains, it pours
        [ch]Fm[/ch]                                [ch]D[/ch]

Wish I didnt know now the things I never knew before
            [ch]A[/ch]            [ch]E[/ch]

Now when it rains, it pours
        [ch]Fm[/ch]

Wish I didnt know now


No I didnt know now
[ch]D[/ch]

What I knew before
