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

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

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

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

Chorus

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

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

Chorus:
And it was like slow motion
Standing there in my party dress
In red lipstick
With no one to impress
And they're all standing around me, singing
"Happy birthday to you"
But there was one thing missing
And that was the moment I knew
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, I knew
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooooooooooooooooh

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