The Moment I Knew by Taylor Swift 2012
Standard Tuning
Capo on the 5th fret
[Intro]    
G   D   A
            x2
[Verse]
                 G
 You should've been there
            D
 Should've burst through the door
            A
 With that baby I'm right here smile
                  G
 And it would've felt like
    D                       A
 A million little shining stars had just aligned
                      G         D      A
 And I would've been so happy
             G
 Christmas lights glisten
              D
 I've got my eye on the door
       A
 Just waiting for you to walk in
           G
 But the time is ticking
         D
 People ask me how I've been
       A
 As I comb back through my memory
               G        D     A
 How you said you'd be here
           G    D   A
 You said you'd be here
                       G         D
 And it was like slow motion
            A
 Standing there in my party dress
         G            D
 In red lipstick
       A
 With no one to impress
                  G         D
 And they're all laughing
         A
 As I'm looking around the room
                        G        D
 But there's one thing missing
       A
 And that was the moment I knew
 G   D   A
            x2
                G
 And the hours pass by
             D
 Now I just wanna be alone
            A
 But your close friends always seem to know
                         G
 When there's something really wrong
          D                        A
 So they follow me down the hall
                G
 And there in the bathroom
        D
 I try not to fall apart
           A
 And the sinking feeling starts
 As I say hopelessly
          G       D     A
 He said he'd be here
                   G         D
 And it was like slow motion
            A
 Standing there in my party dress
         G            D
 In red lipstick
       A
 With no one to impress
                  G         D
 And they're all laughing
         A
 As I'm looking around the room
                        G        D
 But there's one thing missing
       A
 And that was the moment I knew
  G                                D
 What do you say when tears are streaming down your face
             A
 In front of everyone you know?
      G                           D
 And what do you do when the one who means the most to you
A
 Is the one who didn't show?
 G    D    A
                 G        D     A
 You should've been here
                       G      D    A
 And I would've been so happy
                  G         D
 And it was like slow motion
            A
 Standing there in my party dress
         G            D
 In red lipstick
       A
 With no one to impress
                  G                 D
 And they're all sitting around me singing
  A
 Happy birthday to you
                        G        D
 But there's one thing missing
       A
 And that was the moment I knew
 G     D      A
 Ooooooooooooooooh I knew
 G     D      A
 Ooooooooooooooooh
            G
 You call me later
              D
 And say I'm sorry I didn't make it
     A
 And I say I'm sorry too
                   G         D     A    G
 And that was the moment I knew
[Outro] 
G
