Intro:  G+G  D MajorD  A augmentedA  x2

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

G+G
 Christmas lights glisten
       D MajorD
 I've got my eye on the door
    A augmentedA
 Just waiting for you to walk in
      G+G
 But the time is ticking
     D MajorD
 People ask me how I've been
    A augmentedA
 As I comb back through my memory
        G+G    D MajorD   A augmentedA
 How you said you'd be here
      G+G  D MajorD  A augmentedA
 You said you'd be here

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

G+G  D MajorD  A augmentedA  x2

G+G
 And the hours pass by
       D MajorD
 Now I just wanna be alone
      A augmentedA
 But your close friends always seem to know
             G+G
 When there's something really wrong
     D MajorD            A augmentedA
 So they follow me down the hall
        G+G
 And there in the bathroom
    D MajorD
 I try not to fall apart
      A augmentedA
 And the sinking feeling starts

As I say hopelessly
     G+G    D MajorD   A augmentedA
 He said he'd be here

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

G+G                D MajorD
 What do you say when tears are streaming down your face
       A augmentedA
 In front of everyone you know?
   G+G              D MajorD
 And what do you do when the one who means the most to you
A augmentedA
 Is the one who didn't show?

G+G  D MajorD  A augmentedA

G+G    D MajorD   A augmentedA
 You should've been here
            G+G   D MajorD  A augmentedA
 And I would've been so happy

G+G     D MajorD
 And it was like slow motion
      A augmentedA
 Standing there in my party dress
     G+G      D MajorD
 In red lipstick
    A augmentedA
 With no one to impress
         G+G         D MajorD
 And they're all sitting around me singing
 A augmentedA
 Happy birthday to you
            G+G    D MajorD
 But there's one thing missing
    A augmentedA
 And that was the moment I knew

G+G   D MajorD   A augmentedA
 Ooooooooooooooooh I knew
 G+G   D MajorD   A augmentedA
 Ooooooooooooooooh

G+G
 You call me later
       D MajorD
 And say I'm sorry I didn't make it
   A augmentedA
 And I say I'm sorry too
          G+G     D MajorD   A augmentedA  G+G
 And that was the moment I knew

End on G+G
