Em 022000
G 320003
[Intro]
G D/F# Em D C Cm G D
[Verse 1]
G D/F#
You never see it coming
Em D
It happens all of a sudden
C Cm G D
And when it finally hits you, it's too late
G D/F#
He just sat there in silence
Em D
On his own private island
C Cm G
I wasn't ready for the storm about to break
Em A7 D B
Yesterday, there was no trace of trouble
Em A7 D
Now he's given up more than I can take
[Chorus]
C G
He said hold on tight
B Em
It's gonna be a heck of a night
C G D
Especially when you hear what I've got to say
C G
And when he said, I don't love you
B Em
The first tear broke through
C Cm G D
Now it's comin' down like a Tennessee rain
[Verse 2]
G D/F#
Nobody told me
Em D
And nobody showed me
C Cm G D
What to do when the story turns out wrong
G D/F#
Or how a heart does its mending
Em D
Without the perfect ending
C Cm G
The one I always thought would come along
Em A7 D B
He had his own ideas of where this love was going
Em A7 D
He wasn't leaving it up to the hands of fate
[Chorus]
C G
He just said hold on tight
[Interlude]
C Cm Am D
[Chorus]
C G
He said hold on tight
[Próxima Parte]
C Cm G
It’s coming down harder than a Tennessee rain
