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
