Hi there:) So, someone stood Taylor up on her birthday? How dare they!! They should've known doing that would fuel her songwriting! Lol! Let me know what you all think and have fun!! * = strum once [Intro] Cadd9 G D [Verse 1]
              Cadd9
You should've been there, 

          G
Should've burst through the door 

           D
With that "Baby I'm right here" smile 

                Cadd9
And it would've felt like 

  G                      D
A million little shining stars had just aligned 

                      Cadd9   G  D
And I would've been so  happy
[Verse 2]
          Cadd9
Christmas lights glisten 

            G
I've got my eye on the door 

     D
Just waiting for you to walk in 

            Cadd9
But the time is ticking

       G
People ask me how I've been, as I 

D
Comb back through my memory

             Cadd9   G     D
How you said you'd be  here 

         Cadd9    G  D
You said you'd, be  here
[Chorus]
                     Cadd9   G
And it was like slow motion 

         D
Standing there in my party dress

       Cadd9     G
In red lipstick

     D
With no one to impress

                Cadd9     G
And they're all laughing 

       D
As I'm looking around the room

                        Cadd9   G
But there was one thing missing

    D*
And that was the moment I knew
Cadd9 G D Cadd9 G D [Verse 3]
              Cadd9
And the hours pass by,

           G
Now I just want to be alone,

         D
But your close friends always seem to know 

                       Cadd9 
When there's something really wrong 

        G                       D
So they follow me down the hall 

          Cadd9 
And there in the bathroom 

      G
I try not to fall apart 

        D
And the sinking feeling starts 

                                 Cadd9 G     D
As I say hopelessly "He said he'd   be here"
[Chorus]
                     Cadd9   G
And it was like slow motion 

         D
Standing there in my party dress

       Cadd9     G
In red lipstick

     D
With no one to impress 

                Cadd9     G
And they're all laughing 

    D
And asking me about you

                        Cadd9   G
But there was one thing missing

    D
And that was the moment I knew
[Bridge]
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 

                 G*
When the one who means the most to you 

D*
Is the one who didn't show?
Cadd9 G D
              Cadd9     G D
You should've been here, 

                      Cadd9   G  D
And I would've been so  happy
[Chorus]
                     Cadd9   G
And it was like slow motion 

         D
Standing there in my party dress

       Cadd9     G
In red lipstick

     D
With no one to impress

                Cadd9             G
And they're all sitting around me singing 

 D
"Happy Birthday To You"

                        Cadd9   G
But there was one thing missing

    D
And that was the moment I knew

Cadd9    G    D
Oh, ohh, ohh, ohh, I knew

Cadd9    G    D     -stop
Oh, ohh, ohh, ohh,
[Outro]
              Cadd9*
You called me later 

               G*
And said, "I'm sorry I didn't make it"

    D*
And I said, "I'm sorry too"

                 Cadd9*   G*  D*
And that was the moment I knew
Have fun and RATE:) cristy♥twilight
