Intro:    G (320003@1)  D (xx0232@1)  A (x02220@1)  x2

G (320003@1)You should've been there
            D (xx0232@1)Should've burst through the door
            A (x02220@1)With that baby I'm right here smile
                  G (320003@1)And it would've felt like
    D (xx0232@1)                     A (x02220@1)A million little shining stars had just aligned
                      G (320003@1)       D (xx0232@1)    A (x02220@1)And I would've been so happy

G (320003@1)Christmas lights glisten
              D (xx0232@1)I've got my eye on the door
       A (x02220@1)Just waiting for you to walk in
           G (320003@1)But the time is ticking
         D (xx0232@1)People ask me how I've been 
       A (x02220@1)As I comb back through my memory
               G (320003@1)      D (xx0232@1)   A (x02220@1)How you said you'd be here
           G (320003@1)  D (xx0232@1) A (x02220@1)
 You said you'd be here

G (320003@1)       D (xx0232@1)And it was like slow motion
            A (x02220@1) Standing there in my party dress
         G (320003@1)          D (xx0232@1)In red lipstick
       A (x02220@1)With no one to impress
                  G (320003@1)       D (xx0232@1)And they're all laughing
         A (x02220@1)As I'm looking around the room
                        G (320003@1)      D (xx0232@1)But there's one thing missing
       A (x02220@1)And that was the moment I knew

G (320003@1)  D (xx0232@1)  A (x02220@1) x2

G (320003@1)And the hours pass by
             D (xx0232@1)Now I just wanna be alone
            A (x02220@1)But your close friends always seem to know 
                         G (320003@1)When there's something really wrong
          D (xx0232@1)                      A (x02220@1)So they follow me down the hall
                G (320003@1)And there in the bathroom
        D (xx0232@1)I try not to fall apart
           A (x02220@1)And the sinking feeling starts

As I say hopelessly
          G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1)   A (x02220@1)He said he'd be here

G (320003@1)       D (xx0232@1)And it was like slow motion
            A (x02220@1) Standing there in my party dress
         G (320003@1)          D (xx0232@1)In red lipstick
       A (x02220@1)With no one to impress
                  G (320003@1)       D (xx0232@1)And they're all laughing
         A (x02220@1)As I'm looking around the room
                        G (320003@1)      D (xx0232@1)But there's one thing missing
       A (x02220@1)And that was the moment I knew

G (320003@1)                              D (xx0232@1)What do you say when tears are streaming down your face
             A (x02220@1)In front of everyone you know?
      G (320003@1)                         D (xx0232@1)And what do you do when the one who means the most to you
A (x02220@1)Is the one who didn't show?

G (320003@1)  D (xx0232@1)  A (x02220@1)G (320003@1)      D (xx0232@1)   A (x02220@1)You should've been here
                       G (320003@1)    D (xx0232@1)  A (x02220@1)And I would've been so happy

G (320003@1)       D (xx0232@1)And it was like slow motion
            A (x02220@1) Standing there in my party dress
         G (320003@1)          D (xx0232@1)In red lipstick
       A (x02220@1)With no one to impress
                  G (320003@1)               D (xx0232@1)And they're all sitting around me singing
  A (x02220@1)Happy birthday to you
                        G (320003@1)      D (xx0232@1)But there's one thing missing
       A (x02220@1)And that was the moment I knew

G (320003@1)   D (xx0232@1)    A (x02220@1)Ooooooooooooooooh I knew
 G (320003@1)   D (xx0232@1)    A (x02220@1)Ooooooooooooooooh

G (320003@1)You call me later
              D (xx0232@1)And say I'm sorry I didn't make it
     A (x02220@1)And I say I'm sorry too
                   G (320003@1)       D (xx0232@1)   A (x02220@1)  G (320003@1)And that was the moment I knew

End on G
