Intro: G D A x2
G
You should've been there
D
Should've burst through the door
A
With that baby I'm right here smile
G
And it would've felt like
D A
A million little shining stars had just aligned
G D A
And I would've been so happy
G
Christmas lights glisten
D
I've got my eye on the door
A
Just waiting for you to walk in
G
But the time is ticking
D
People ask me how I've been
A
As I comb back through my memory
G D A
How you said you'd be here
G D A
You said you'd be here
G D
And it was like slow motion
A
Standing there in my party dress
G D
In red lipstick
A
With no one to impress
G D
And they're all laughing
A
As I'm looking around the room
G D
But there's one thing missing
A
And that was the moment I knew
G D A x2
G
And the hours pass by
D
Now I just wanna be alone
A
But your close friends always seem to know
G
When there's something really wrong
D A
So they follow me down the hall
G
And there in the bathroom
D
I try not to fall apart
A
And the sinking feeling starts
As I say hopelessly
G D A
He said he'd be here
G D
And it was like slow motion
A
Standing there in my party dress
G D
In red lipstick
A
With no one to impress
G D
And they're all laughing
A
As I'm looking around the room
G D
But there's one thing missing
A
And that was the moment I knew
G D
What do you say when tears are streaming down your face
A
In front of everyone you know?
G D
And what do you do when the one who means the most to you
A
Is the one who didn't show?
G D A
G D A
You should've been here
G D A
And I would've been so happy
G D
And it was like slow motion
A
Standing there in my party dress
G D
In red lipstick
A
With no one to impress
G D
And they're all sitting around me singing
A
Happy birthday to you
G D
But there's one thing missing
A
And that was the moment I knew
G D A
Ooooooooooooooooh I knew
G D A
Ooooooooooooooooh
G
You call me later
D
And say I'm sorry I didn't make it
A
And I say I'm sorry too
G D A G
And that was the moment I knew
End on G
