G   Em7


	G     
When the stars line up
	Em7
and you catch a break
G
people think you're lucky
        Em7
but you know it's grace
       Cadd9
it can happen too fast
      D
or a little too late
	   Cadd9     G
timing is everything



G
you know I've had close calls
	Em7
when it could have been me
	G
i was young when i learned 
	         Em7
just how fragile life could be
	Cadd9
i lost friends of mine
	   D
i guess it wasn't my time
	   Cadd9      G
timing is everything



      Cadd9                                    G
I could have been the child that God took home
      Cadd9                                G
I would have been one more unfinished song
    F				    C
and when it seems the rhyme is hard to find
		Am
that's when one comes along
D
just in time
	   Cadd9      G
timing is everything




	G
well I remember that day
	  Em7
when our eyes first met
	G
you ran into the building to get out of the rain
		Em7
you were soaking wet
	 Cadd9
and as i held the door
	D
you asked my name
	   Cadd9    G
timing is everything




       Cadd9                           G
I could have been another minute late
        Cadd9                                  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 it comes along
D
just in time



	      G
well you can call it fate
            Em7
or call it destiny
     G
sometimes it really seems 
	    Em7
like it's a mystery 
           Cadd9
you can be hurt by love
     D
or healed by the same
           Cadd9       G
timing is everything



       Cadd9
it can happen too fast
      D
or a little too late
   Cadd9             (Em7)  G
timing is everything
