Standard Tuning CAPO 2 [Verse 1] Like a deer in the headlights I stood frozen in my tracks And the weight of the news it nearly broke my back    It was late september and I remember oh so well I put a rose in the bible and placed it on my shelf [Chorus] Now when it rains it pours Wish I didnt know now the things I never knew before Now when it rains it pours Wish I didnt know now the things I never knew before [Verse 2] Back then when we were 17 Time was on our side Holes in our jeans and a pocket full of dreams The future was Friday night And we would hangout down by the river bend Singing our favorite songs Laughin and drinkin smokin and smilin Now those days are gone When it rains it pours Wish I didnt know now the things I never knew before Now when it rains it pours Wish I didnt know now the things I know for sure Like a deer in the headlights I stood frozen in my tracks And the weight of you not here nearly broke my back And the tears they fell like a monsoon Underneath the cold fall moon And some how God put his hands on your shoulders Way too way too soon Now when it rains it pours Wish I didnt know now the things I never knew before Now when it rains it pours Wish I didnt know now No I didnt know now What I knew before When it rains Oooh it pours Wish I didnt know now No I didnt know now What I knew before Oh hey yeah oh oh yeah oh oh yeah oh ooh yeah When it rains rains yeah it pours  Oooh    oooh    oh yeah
