G                  D                 Em        D
You never see it coming, it happens all of a sudden
     Am                C                G        D
And when it finally hits you, it's too late
         G                 D               Em          D
He just sat there in the silence, on his own private island
           Am            C              G       D
I wasn't ready for the storm about to break
       Em             C             D
Yesterday, there was no trace of trouble
        Em           C             D
Now he's given up more than I can take


[Chorus]
         C        G                      D           Em
He said hold on tight, it's gonna be a heck of a night
      C               D                    G         D
Especially when you hear what I've got to say
                  C             G
And when he said, I don't love you
 D                       Em
The first tear broke through
          C
Now it's comin' down
     Am           G      D
Like a Tennessee rain


[Verse 2]
 G         D        Em        D
Nobody showed me, nobody told me
 Am                C                G        D
What to do when the story turned out wrong
         G                 D               Em          D
Or how a heart does its mending, without the perfect ending
           Am            C              G       D
The one I always thought would come along
           Em             C                  D
He had his own ideas of where this love was going
          Em             C                  D
He wasn't leaving it up to the hands of fate


[Chorus]

         C        G                      D           Em
He said hold on tight, it's gonna be a heck of a night
      C               D                    G         D
Especially when you hear what I've got to say
                  C             G
And when he said, I don't love you
 D                       Em
The first tear broke through
          C
Now it's comin' down
     Am           G      D
Like a Tennessee rain

G  D Em  D Am  C  G  D

[Chorus]
       C        G                      D           Em
He said hold on tight, it's gonna be a heck of a night
      C               D                    G         D
Especially when you hear what I've got to say
                  C             G
And when he said, I don't love you
 D                       Em
The first tear broke through
          C
Now it's comin' down
     Am           G      D
Like a Tennessee rain


[Outro]
             C                 Am          G
It's comin' down harder than a Tennessee rain
