The Moment I Knew

[Cadd9] [G] [D]

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 so[Cadd9]  happy [G]    [D]

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]  h[D]ere

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]laughing  [G]
As I'm [D]looking around the room
But there was one thing [Cadd9]missing [G]
    [D] -once
And that was the moment I knew

[Cadd9] [G] [D]
[Cadd9] [G] [D]

And the hours [Cadd9]pass by,
Now I just [G]want to 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 [D]
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]   be [G]here" [D]

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]laughing  [G]
And [D]asking me about you
But there was one thing [Cadd9]missing [G]
And [D]that was the moment I knew

[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] -once
Is the one who didn't show?

[Cadd9] [G] [D]

You should've [Cadd9]been here,[G]  [D]
And I would've been so[Cadd9]  happy [G]    [D]

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]sitting 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, ohh, [G]ohh, [D]ohh, I knew
[Cadd9]Oh, ohh, [G]ohh, [D]ohh,

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]

Have fun and RATE:)
