Tom: D
D
[Verse 1]
D
Once your girl
D
I’m always your girl
D
When I’m here and when I’m there
D
Or on a plane headed somewhere
D
You were staring down the cars
D
Hoping it would be one of ours
D G
Children and grandchildren writing you cards
Em
But how long were you waiting for me
A D
To make a left down your street?
[Chorus]
D Bm
It’s not if darling it’s when
Bm A
Was there something left unsaid?
G
Were your eyes green, were they blue?
A G
What was it that I forgot to ask you?
D Bm
Busy hands, I’ll set ‘em down
Bm
To say I love you right out loud
G
I’ll bet you’re making heaven laugh
A G D
But it feels like tears and memories are all we have
[Verse 2]
D
Once I knew it
D
I was always a know it all
D
Too busy too stressed out
D
To take your call
D
Thought I would always find you there
D
Sitting in your TV chair
D G
Time is in a bar having a laugh somewhere
Em
The nurse said you were waiting for me
A D
To let go, to let it be
[Chorus]
D Bm
It’s not if darling it’s when
Bm A
Was there something left unsaid?
G
Were your eyes green, were they blue?
A G
What was it that I forgot to ask you?
D Bm
Busy hands I’ll set ‘em down
Bm
To say I love you here and now
G
Did God need a new lead in his band?
A G
When this world and its people
D
Are all we have
[Outro]
D
Once your girl, I’m always your girl
