Verse 1:
[G]Like a deer in the headlights, I stood f[D]rozen in my tracks
And the w[Em]eight of the news, It nearly broke my b[C]ack
[G]It was late september, and I rem[D]ember oh so well
I put a r[Em]ose in the bible and placed it on my s[C]helf
Chorus:
Now when it r[G]ains, it p[D]ours
Wish I di[Em]dnt know now the things I never knew bef[C]ore
Now when it r[G]ains, it p[D]ours
Wish I di[Em]dnt know now the things I never knew bef[C]ore
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
The f[C]uture was Friday night
And we would h[G]angout down by the riverbend
[D]Singing our favorite songs
[Em]Laughin and drinkin, smokin and smilin
[C]Now those days are gone
Now when it r[G]ains, it p[D]ours
Wish I d[Em]idnt know now the things I never knew bef[C]ore
Now when it r[G]ains, it p[D]ours
Wish I d[Em]idnt know now the things I know for s[C]ure
[G]Like a deer in the headlights, I stood fr[D]ozen in my tracks
And the w[Em]eight of you not here nearly broke my b[C]ack
And the t[G]ears they fell like a monsoon
Undern[D]eath the cold fall moon
Some[Em]how God put his hands on your shoulders
W[C]ay too, way too soon
Now when it r[G]ains, it p[D]ours
Wish I d[Em]idnt know now the things I never knew bef[C]ore
Now when it r[G]ains, it p[D]ours
Wish I d[Em]idnt know now
No I didnt know now
[C] What I knew before
