You should've ^Cadd9been there Should've ^Gburst through the door With that B^Daby I'm right here smile And it would've ^Cadd9felt like A ^Gmillion little shining ^Dstars had just aligned And I would've bee^Cadd9n so hap^Gpy ^D

Christmas ^Cadd9lights glisten I've got my ^Geye on the door Just ^Dwaiting for you to walk in But the time^Cadd9 is ticking People ^Gask me how I've been as I ^DComb back through my memory How you said ^Cadd9you'd be^G here ^D You said ^Cadd9you'd be ^Gher^De

And it was like slow ^Cadd9motion ^G Standing ^Dthere in my party dress In red ^Cadd9lipstick ^G With ^Dno-one to impress And they're all ^Cadd9laughing ^G As I'm ^Dlooking around the room But there was one thing ^Cadd9missing ^G And ^Dthat was the moment I knew

And the hours ^Cadd9pass by Now I just ^Gwant to be alone But your ^Dclose friends always seem to know When there's something ^Cadd9really wrong So they ^Gfollow me down the hall ^D And there ^Cadd9in the bathroom I try ^Gnot to fall apart And the ^Dsinking feeling starts As I say hopeles^Cadd9sly He said^G he'd ^Dbe here

And it was like slow ^Cadd9motion ^G Standing ^Dthere in my party dress In red ^Cadd9lipstick ^G With ^Dno-one to impress And they're all ^Cadd9laughing ^G And ^Dasking me about you But there was one thing ^Cadd9missing ^G And ^Dthat was the moment I knew

^Cadd9What do you say when tears are ^GStreaming down your face in front of ^DEveryone you know ^Cadd9And what do you do When the one who ^Gmeans the most to you ^DIs the one who didn't show

You should've ^Cadd9been here ^{G D} And I would've been so^Cadd9 happy ^{G D}

And it was like slow ^Cadd9motion ^G Standing ^Dthere in my party dress In red ^Cadd9lipstick ^G With ^Dno-one to impress And they're all ^Cadd9sitting around me ^Gsinging H^Dappy Birthday To You But there was one thing ^Cadd9missing ^G And ^Dthat was the moment I knew

^Cadd9Oh ohh oh^Gh ohh^D I knew ^Cadd9Oh ohh oh^Gh ohh^D

You called me ^Cadd9later And said I'm so^Grry I didn't make it And ^DI said I'm sorry too And that was the ^Cadd9moment I^G kn^Dew
