G
when the stars line up
and you catch a good break
Em7
and people think that you're lucky
but you know it's grace
Cadd9
it can happen so fast
D
or a little bit late
Cadd9
timing is everything
G
you know I've had close calls
when it could have been me
Em7
i was young when i learned just
how fragile life could be
Cadd9
i lost friends of mine
D
i guess it wasn't my time
Cadd9 G
time is everything
Cadd9 G
and i could have been a child that got took home
Cadd9 G
and i would have been one more unfinished song
C
and when it seems a rhyme is hard to find
Am
that's when one comes along
D
just in time
G
well I remember that day
G
when our eyes first meet
Em7
you ran into the building to get out of the rain
cause you were soaking wet
Cadd9
and as i held the door
D
you wanted to know my name
Cadd9 G
timing is everything
Cadd9 G
and i could have been another minute late
Cadd9 G
and you never would have crossed my path that day
C
and when it seems true love is hard to find
Am
that's when love comes along
D
just in time
G
well you can call it fate
or destiny
Em7
sometimes it really
feels like
it's a mystery
Cadd9
you can be hurt by love
D
or healed by the same
Cadd9 G
timing is everything
Cadd9 G
timing is everything
Cadd9 G
timing is everything
