C Am C Am


[Verse 1]
         C
When the stars line up
        Am
and you catch a good break
    C
and people think you're lucky
        Am
but you know it's grace
       F
it can happen so fast
     G
or a little bit late
          F          C
timing is everything

              C
you know I've had close calls
        Am
when it could have been me
      C
I was young when I learned just
            Am
how fragile life could be
       F
I lost friends of mine
           G
I guess it wasn't my time
          F          C
timing is everything


[Chorus]
      F                                     C
and I could have been a child that got took home
      F                                   C
and I would have been one more unfinished song
    Bb                               F
and when it seems a rhyme is hard to find
            Dm                                  
that's when one comes along
G
just in time


[Verse 2]
          C
well I remember that day
         Am
when our eyes first meet
        C
you ran into the building to get out of the rain
               Am
cause you were soaking wet
         F
and as I held the door
              G
you wanted to know my name
          F          C
timing is everything


[Chorus]
      F                              C
and I could have been another minute late
        F                                     C
and you never would have crossed my path that day
    Bb                                 F
and when it seems true love is hard to find
            Dm
that's when love comes along
G
just in time


[Verse 3]
             C
well you can call it fate
   Am
or destiny
    C
sometimes it really seems like
       Am
it's a mystery
                 F
cause you can be hurt by love
   G
or healed by the same
          F          C
timing is everything
           F
and it can happen so fast
     G
or a little bit late
          F          C
timing is everything
