C9 G D

              C9
You should've been there,
          G
Should've burst through the door
           D
With that "Baby I'm right here" smile
                C9
And it would've felt like
  G                      D
A million little shining stars had just aligned
                      C9   G  D
And I would've been so  happy


          C9
Christmas lights glisten
            G
I've got my eye on the door
     D
Just waiting for you to walk in
            C9
But the time is ticking
       G
People ask me how I've been, as I
D
Comb back through my memory
             C9   G     D
How you said you'd be  here
         C9    G  D
You said you'd, be  here


                     C9   G
And it was like slow motion
         D
Standing there in my party dress
       C9     G
In red lipstick
     D
With no-one to impress
                C9     G
And they're all laughing
       D
As I'm looking around the room
                        C9   G
But there was one thing missing
    D -once
And that was the moment I knew

C9 G D


              C9
And the hours pass by,
           G
Now I just want to be alone,
         D
But your close friends always seem to know
                       C9
When there's something really wrong
        G                       D
So they follow me down the hall
          C9
And there in the bathroom
      G
I try not to fall apart
        D
And the sinking feeling starts
                                 C9 G     D
As I say hopelessly "He said he'd   be here"


                     C9   G
And it was like slow motion
         D
Standing there in my party dress
       C9     G
In red lipstick
     D
With no-one to impress
                C9     G
And they're all laughing
    D
And asking me about you
                        C9   G
But there was one thing missing
    D
And that was the moment I knew


C9
What do you say when tears are
G
Streaming down your face in front of
D
Everyone you know?
C9
And what do you do
                 G
When the one who means the most to you
D|-once
Is the one who didn't show?


C9 G D


              C9     G D
You should've been here,
                      C9   G  D
And I would've been so  happy



                     C9   G
And it was like slow motion
         D
Standing there in my party dress
       C9     G
In red lipstick
     D
With no-one to impress
                C9             G
And they're all sitting around me singing
 D
"Happy Birthday To You"
                        C9   G
But there was one thing missing
    D
And that was the moment I knew



C9    G    D
Oh, ohh, ohh, ohh, I knew
C9    G    D
Oh, ohh, ohh, ohh,


              C9
You called me later
               G
And said, "I'm sorry I didn't make it"
    D
And I said, "I'm sorry too"
                 C9    G   D.....
And that was the moment I knew
