[Verse 1]
GYou never see it cD/F#oming
EmIt happens all of a suDdden
CAnd when it finally hCmits you, it's too lGateD  
He just sGat there in sD/F#ilence
On his Emown private isDland
I wasn't reCady for the sCmtorm about to brGeak
YesterEmday, there was A7no trace of troDubleB  
Now he's gEmiven up mA7ore than I can tDake
[Chorus]
He said hCold on tiGght
It's gonna be a Bheck of a nEmight
CEspecially when you hear what I've got to sGayD  
And when he sCaid, I don't loGve you
BThe first tear broke thEmrough
Now it's coCmin' down like a CmTennessee rGainD  
[Verse 2]
GNobody D/F#told me
EmAnd nobody shDowed me
CWhat to do when the sCmtory turns out wrGongD  
Or how a heGart does its mD/F#ending
Without the peEmrfect enDding
The oCne I always thCmought would come alGong
He had his Emown ideas of whA7ere this love was goDingB  
He wasn't leEmaving it up A7to the hands of fDate
[Chorus]
He just said hCold on tiGght
It's gonna be a hBeck of a nEmight
CEspecially when you hear what I've got to sGayD

[Chorus]
He said hCold on tiGght
It's gonna be a Bheck of a nEmight
CEspecially when you hear what I've got to sGayD

BThe first tear broke thEmrough
Now it's coCmin' down like a CmTennessee rGain
It’s coming down haCrder than a CmTennessee rGain

[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

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

Now it's comin' down like a Tennessee rain

[Interlude]

C Cm Am D

[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

Now it's comin' down like a Tennessee rain

C Cm G

It’s coming down harder than a Tennessee rain
