      D                                    G         A         D
 We play the game, we pay the price, with luck that comes and goes,
     D                              G        A           F#
 No matter what the Gods decide, we always spoil their show,
       G                                  F#m            G
 Just like when you are finally near the lover of your dreams,
E                        D            G         A      D
 And as you stand there waiting, she turns and walks away,

G            A          D        G      A            Bm            G    A
 And you discover that timing is everything, you've got to get it right,
  D        G      A       D
 Timing is everything in life,

      D                                  G     A     D         G
 We break apart when world's collide, as everybody knows, we know it!
      D                                    G          A       F#
 You hear she'll be somebody's bride, and just can't let her go,
     G                                   F#m           G
 So get down to the church, and let her see you once again,
E                           D                  G        A     D
 Before you know it she is kissing you, and throws the ring away,

G               A               D        G      A         Bm             G    A
 And then she whispers to you, timing is everything, you finally got it right,
  D        G      A       D   G A  D        G      A       Bb
 Timing is everything in life,    timing is everything in life,

            C    Am         Bb                 C         A
 Sooner or later all good things come to your heart, in life
         Bb C    D
 It's a waiting game,

 When you remember that timing is everything, you've got to get it right,
  D        G      A       D   G A  D        G      A
 Timing is everything in life,    timing is everything,
  D        G      A     D        G      A     D        G      A
 Timing is everything, timing is everything, timing is everything,
      D                G        A     D        G      A
 We play the game, we pay the price, timing is everything,
