When It Rains

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
