(Bb6)When did re spect

When did I fall in love?

What night?

Which day?

When did I first be gin to feel this way?

How could the (Am)mo ment pass,

un felt,

ig (E7)nored?

Where was the (D9)blind ing flash?

Where was the crash ing chord?

When did I fall in love?

I can’t

re call;

not that it mat ters

It does n’t (F6)mat ter when,

or why,

or (C7)how,

(Ab)Out of the house ten sec onds, and I (Dm7)miss him,

and no one’s (Bb)more

When did it (Dm7)start,

How could the (Am)mo ment pass,

Where was the (G7)crash (F)ing (Bb7)chord?

When did I fall in love?

I can’t

not that it mat ters

at (Bbm7)all.

It does n’t (Fm11)mat ter when,
