Intro: G Em C G G/F#

          G
When the stars line up
        Em
and you catch a good break
    G
and people think your lucky
        Em
but you know it's grace
       C
it can happen so fast
     D
or a little bit late
          C      G G/F#
timing is everything

              G
you know I've had close calls
         Em
when it could have been me
      G
I was young when I learned just 
            Em
how fragile life could be
        C
I lost friends of mine
         D
Guess it wasn't my time
          C      G  G/F#
timing is everything

      C                                     G
and i could have been a child that got took home
      C                                   G
and i would have been one more unfinished song
            F                 C
and when it seems a rhyme is hard to find
            Am                                 
that's when one comes along
D
just in time

         G
well I remember that day
          Em
when our eyes first meet
        G
you ran into the building to get out of the rain
                Em
cause you were soaking wet
         C
and as I held the door
               D
you wanted to know my name
          C         G  G/F#
timing is everything

       C                              G
and i could have been another minute late
        C                                     G
and you never would have crossed my path that day
             F                  C
and when it seems true love is hard to find
             Am
that's when love comes along
D
just in time

              G
well you can call it fate
    Em
or destiny
      G
sometimes it really seems like
       Em
it's a mystery
                 C
cause you can be hurt by love
     D
or healed by the same
          C          G  G/F#
timing is everything
           C
and it can happen so fast
      D
or a little bit late
          C          G
timing is everything
