    Where Was I

  • Artist:

    Paul Thorn

Em  C  G  twice 
 
     Em              C          G   
On a black and white TV back in grammar school 
      Em            C                 G 
I was watching Neal Armstrong walking on the moon 
     C             D               Em 
That same day I pretended I was an astronaut  
                  C                   D 
on the playground monkey bars I flew above the stars 
 
I was in a Dallas disco the night John Lennon died 

The DJ played Imagine and everybody cried 

I remember a thousand lighters held up in our hands 

All we were saying was let?s give peace a chance 


G         C          Am             D 
Where was I when you stopped lovin? me 
G        C        Am    D 
When did I become history 
        G        C                     Am   D 
There?s not many things that escape my memory 
        C         G          D              G   
Tell me where was I when you stopped loving me  
 
Every 20,000 years that comet lights up the night 

On a blanket we watched it sail across the sky 

A moment like that comes just once in life 

It felt like our first time at 11:35  
 
Chorus 
 
Bridge: 
  D 
I remember when I met you 
    G 
The taste of our first kiss 
     Am             C/B 
I remember your goodbye 
C                 D 
Could you tell me this 
 
Chorus
