When the stars line up
Em7
and you catch a break
G
people think you're lucky
Em7
but you know it's grace
Cadd9
it can happen too fast

or a little too late
Cadd9 G
timing is everything
G
you know I've had close calls
Em7
when it could have been me
G
i was young when i learned

just how fragile life could be
Cadd9
i lost friends of mine

i guess it wasn't my time
Cadd9 G
timing is everything
Cadd9 G
I could have been the child that God took home
Cadd9 G
I would have been one more unfinished song

Am
that's when one comes along
D
just in time
Cadd9 G
timing is everything
G
well I remember that day
Em7
when our eyes first met
G
you ran into the building to get out of the rain
Em7
you were soaking wet
Cadd9
and as i held the door
D
you asked my name
Cadd9 G
timing is everything
Cadd9 G
I could have been another minute late
Cadd9 G
and you never would have crossed my path that day
F C
and when it seems true love is hard to find
Am
that's when it comes along
D
just in time
G
well you can call it fate
Em7
or call it destiny
G
sometimes it really seems
Em7
like it's a mystery
Cadd9
you can be hurt by love
D
or healed by the same
Cadd9 G
timing is everything
Cadd9
it can happen too fast

or a little too late
Cadd9 (Em7) G
timing is everything
