Use a Capo on the Second 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
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
