Intro: [Cadd9] [G] [D]
Verse 1:
You should've [Cadd9]been there
Should've [G]burst through the door
With that [D]"Baby, I'm right here" smile
And it would've [Cadd9]felt like
A [G]million little shining [D]stars had just aligned
And I would've been [Cadd9]so happy [G] [D]
Verse 2:
Christmas [Cadd9]lights glisten
I've got my [G]eye on the door
Just [D]waiting for you to walk in
But the time [Cadd9]is ticking
People [G]ask me how I've been
As I [D]comb back through my memory
How you said [Cadd9]you'd be[G] here[D]
You said [Cadd9]you'd be[G] [D]here
Chorus:
And it was like [Cadd9]slow motion [G]
Standing [D]there in my party dress
In red [Cadd9]lipstick [G]
With [D]no one to impress
And they're all [Cadd9]laughing [G]
As I'm [D]looking around the room
But there was one thing [Cadd9]missing [G]
And [D]that was the moment I knew
[Cadd9] [G] [D]
[Cadd9] [G] [D]
Verse 3:
And the hours pass[Cadd9] by
Now I just [G]wanna be alone
But your [D]close friends always seem to know
When there's something [Cadd9]really wrong
So they [G]follow me down the hall
And there [Cadd9]in the bathroom
I try [G]not to fall apart
And the [D]sinking feeling starts
As I say hopelessly
"He said he'd [Cadd9] [G]be here" [D]
Chorus:
And it was like [Cadd9]slow motion [G]
Standing [D]there in my party dress
In red [Cadd9]lipstick [G]
With [D]no one to impress
And they're all [Cadd9]laughing [G]
And [D]asking me about you
But there was one thing
[Cadd9]missing [G] (missing, missing)
And [D]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 when the
one who [G]means the most to you
[D]Is the one who didn't show?
You should've [Cadd9]been here, [G] [D]
And I would've been so[Cadd9] happy [G] [D]
Chorus:
And it was like slow [Cadd9]motion [G]
Standing [D]there in my party dress
In red [Cadd9]lipstick [G]
With [D]no one to impress
And they're all [Cadd9]standing around me [G]singing
[D]"Happy birthday to you"
But there was one thing [Cadd9]missing[G]
And [D]that was the moment I knew
[Cadd9]Oh, ooh, [G]ooh, [D]ooh, I knew
[Cadd9] [G] [D]
Outro:
You called me [Cadd9]later
And said, "I'm [G]sorry, I didn't make it"
And [D]I said, "I'm sorry too"
And that was the [Cadd9]moment I [G]knew[D]
