Tone [D]
Capo 4
[G] [D] [A] [Bm] [G] [D] [A]
[G]i bet t[D]his time of night you're [A]still up
[G]i bet you're [D]tired from a long har[A]d week
[G]i bet you're s[D]itting in your chair by the w[A]indow
looking out[Bm] at the [A]city
[G]and i bet som[D]etimes you wonder about[A] me
[G]and i[D] just wanna [A]tell you
it takes [G]everything in me[D] not to ca[A]ll you[Bm]
[G]and i [D]wish i could [A]run to you
and i ho[Bm]pe you know that
[G]every time i don't
[D]i almost do[A]
[G]i almost doo[D]oo[A] [Bm] [G] [D] [A]
You should've [G]been there,
Should've [D]burst through the door
With that [A]"Baby I'm right here" smile
And it would've [G]felt like
A [D]million little shining [A]stars had just aligned
And I would've been so[G] ha[D]ppy[A]
Christmas [G]lights glisten
I've got my [D]eye on the door
Just [A]waiting for you to walk in
But the [G]time is ticking
People [D]ask me how I've been, as I
[A]Comb back through my memory
How you said [G] [D]you'd be [A]here
You said [G] [D]you'd, [A]be here
And it was like slow [G] [D]motion
Standing [A]there in my party dress
In red [G] [D]lipstick
With [A]no-one to impress
And they're all [G] [D]laughing
As I'm [A]looking around the room
But there was one thing [G] [D]missing
And [A]that was the moment I knew
[Bm] [A] [G] [D]
[Bm]we made quite a mess, babe
it's[G] probably better[A] off this way[Bm]
and i confess, babe
[G]in my dreams you're t[A]ouching my face[D]
and asking [A]me if i [Bm]wanna try a[A]gain with you[G]
[A]and i almost do[G]
[G]What do you say when tears are
[D]Streaming down your face in front of
[A]Everyone you know?
[G]And what do you do
When the one who [D]means the most to you
[A]Is the one who didn't show?
[G] [D] [A]
You should've [G]been [D]h[A]ere,
And I would've been so[G] ha[D]ppy[A]
And it was like slow [G] [D]motion
Standing [A]there in my party dress
In red [G] [D]lipstick
With [A]no-one to impress
And they're all [G]sitting [D]around me singing
[A]"Happy Birthday To You"
But there was one thing [G] [D]missing
And [A]that was the moment I knew
And [G]that was the moment I knew
[G]and i [D]wish i could [A]run to you
and i ho[Bm]pe you know that
[G]everytime i don't
[D]i almost do
[A]i almost doooo
And [G]that was the moment I knew
You called me [G]later
And said, "I'm [D]sorry I didn't make it"
And [A]I said, "I'm sorry too"
And that was the [G] [D]moment I [A]knew
