When It Rains

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 
Put a rose in the bible and placed it upon my shelf 



             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 didn't know now the things I never knew before 



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 river bend 
D 
Singing our favourite songs 
Em 
Laughing and drinking, smoking and smiling 
C 
Now those days are gone 

         G         D 
When it rains, it pours 
        Em                                       C 
Wish I didn't know now the things I never knew before 
             G         D 
Now when it rains, it pours 
        Em                                   C 
Wish I didn't 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 
And some how 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 didn't know now the things I never knew before 
             G         D 
Now when it rains, it pours 
        Em 
Wish I didn't know now, No, I didn't know now 
C 
What I knew before 

          G              D 
When it rains, Oooh it pours 
        Em                                  C 
Wish I didn't know now, No, I didn't know now What I knew before 

          G            D            Em            C 
Oh, hey, yeah, oh, oh yeah, oh, oh yeah, oh, ooh yeah 

          G                     D 
When it rains, rains, yeah, it pours 
   Em                  C    G 
 Oooh,    oooh,    oh yeah
