should've known doing that would fuel her
songwriting! Lol! Let me know what you all
think and have fun!!
* = strum once
Intro
[Cadd9] [G] [D]
Verse 1
[Cadd9]
You should've been there,
[G]
Should've burst through the door
[D]
With that "Baby I'm right here" smile
[Cadd9]
And it would've felt like
[G] [D]
A million little shining stars had just aligned
[Cadd9] [G] [D]
And I would've been so happy
Verse 2
[Cadd9]
Christmas lights glisten
[G]
I've got my eye on the door
[D]
Just waiting for you to walk in
[Cadd9]
But the time is ticking
[G]
People ask me how I've been, as I
[D]
Comb back through my memory
[Cadd9] [G] [D]
How you said you'd be here
[Cadd9] [G] [D]
You said you'd, be here
Chorus
[Cadd9] [G]
And it was like slow motion
[D]
Standing there in my party dress
[Cadd9] [G]
In red lipstick
[D]
With no one to impress
[Cadd9] [G]
And they're all laughing
[D]
As I'm looking around the room
[Cadd9] [G]
But there was one thing missing
[D]*
And that was the moment I knew
[Cadd9] [G] [D]
[Cadd9] [G] [D]
Verse 3
[Cadd9]
And the hours pass by,
[G]
Now I just want to be alone,
[D]
But your close friends always seem to know
[Cadd9]
When there's something really wrong
[G] [D]
So they follow me down the hall
[Cadd9]
And there in the bathroom
[G]
I try not to fall apart
[D]
And the sinking feeling starts
[Cadd9] [G] [D]
As I say hopelessly "He said he'd be here"
Chorus
[Cadd9] [G]
And it was like slow motion
[D]
Standing there in my party dress
[Cadd9] [G]
In red lipstick
[D]
With no one to impress
[Cadd9] [G]
And they're all laughing
[D]
And asking me about you
[Cadd9] [G]
But there was one thing missing
[D]
And that was the moment I knew
Bridge
[Cadd9]
What do you say when tears are
[G]
Streaming down your face in front of
[D]
Everyone you know?
[Cadd9]*
And what do you do
[G]*
When the one who means the most to you
[D]*
Is the one who didn't show?
[Cadd9] [G] [D]
[Cadd9] [G] [D]
You should've been here,
[Cadd9] [G] [D]
And I would've been so happy
Chorus
[Cadd9] [G]
And it was like slow motion
[D]
Standing there in my party dress
[Cadd9] [G]
In red lipstick
[D]
With no one to impress
[Cadd9] [G]
And they're all sitting around me singing
[D]
"Happy Birthday To You"
[Cadd9] [G]
But there was one thing missing
[D]
And that was the moment I knew
[Cadd9] [G] [D]
Oh, ohh, ohh, ohh, I knew
[Cadd9] [G] [D] -stop
Oh, ohh, ohh, ohh,
Outro
[Cadd9]*
You called me later
[G]*
And said, "I'm sorry I didn't make it"
[D]*
And I said, "I'm sorry too"
[Cadd9]* [G]* [D]*
And that was the moment I knew
Have fun and RATE:)
