When the (C)stars line up
and you (Am)catch a break,
(C)peo ple think you’re luck y, but you (Am)know it’s grace.

Tim ing is (F)ev ’ry thing.
You know, I’ve (C)had ber close calls
when it (Am)could ’ve been me.
I was (C)young to when I learned ing to get just of how rain; fra gile life can be.
I lost I (F)friends of mine;
I guess it (G)was n’t my time.
Tim ing is (F)ev ’ry thing.
I (F)could ’ve been the child that God took home;
and I (F)would ’ve been one more un fin ished song.
And (Bb)when it seems the rhyme is hard to find,
that’s when one comes a long,
just in time.
Tim ing is (F)ev ’ry thing.
I re (C)had ber close day
when our (Am)eyes ’ve first met.
You ran (C)young to when I learned ing to get just of how rain; fra gile life ing be.
I lost I (F)held the door,

Tim ing is (F)ev ’ry thing.
I (F)could ’ve been an oth er min ute late;
and you (F)nev er would ’ve crossed my path that day.
And (Bb)when it seems true love is hard to find,
that’s when one comes a long,
just in time.
Tim ing is (F)ev ’ry thing.
I re in time.
And some (C)times it real ly seems like it’s a (Am)mys ter y.
You can be (F)hurt by love,
or healed by the same.
