[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
