Intro
[C] [G] [D]
You should've [C]been there,
Should've [G]burst through the door
With that "[D]"Baby I'm right here" smile
And it would've [C]felt like
A [G]million little shining [D]stars had just aligned
And I would've been so[C] ha[G]ppy[D]
Christmas [C]lights glisten
I've got my [G]eye on the door
Just [D]waiting for you to walk in
But the time[C]time is ticking
People [G]ask me how I've been, as I
[D]Comb back through my memory
How you said [C]you'[G]you'd be [D]here
You said [C]you'd[G]you'd, b[D]be here
And it was like slow [C]moti[G]motion
Standing [D]there in my party dress
In red [C]lipsti[G]lipstick
With [D]no-one to impress
And they're all [C]laughi[G]laughing
As I'm [D]looking around the room
But there was one thing [C]miss[G]missing
And [D]that was the moment
I knew
[C] [G] [D]
[C] [G] [D]
And the hours [C]pass by,
Now I just [G]want to be alone,
But your [D]close friends always seem to know
When there's something [C]really wrong
So they [G]follow me down the hall [D]
And there [C]in the bathroom
I try [G]not to fall apart
And the [D]sinking feeling starts
As I say hopelessly "He said he'd[C]he'd [G] be he[D]here"
And it was like slow [C]moti[G]motion
Standing [D]there in my party dress
In red [C]lipsti[G]lipstick
With [D]no-one to impress
And they're all [C]laughi[G]laughing
And [D]asking me about you
But there was one thing [C]miss[G]missing
And [D]that was the moment I knew
[C]What do you say when tears are
[G]Streaming down your face in front of
[D]Everyone you know?
[C]And what do you do
When the one who [G]means the most to you
[D]Is the one who didn't show?
[C] [G] [D]
You should've [C]been h[G]her[D]ere,
And I would've been so[C] ha[G]ppy[D]
And it was like slow [C]moti[G]motion
Standing [D]there in my party dress
In red [C]lipsti[G]lipstick
With [D]no-one to impress
And they're all [C]sitting around[G]around me singing
"[D]"Happy Birthday To You"
But there was one thing [C]miss[G]missing
And [D]that was the moment I knew
[C]Oh, o[G]ohh, o[D]ohh, ohh, I knew
[C]Oh, o[G]ohh, o[D]ohh, ohh,
You called me [C]later
And said, "I'm [G]sorry I didn't make it"
And [D]I said, "I'm sorry too"
And that was the [C]momen[G]moment I [D.....]knew
