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
[Refrão]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

Could you tell me this
