C                                          G                C
Where were you when the world stop turning on that September day
C
Were you in the yard with your wife and children
G                            C
Or working on some stage in L.A.
        F                           C
Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke
F                        C
Rising against that blue sky
        F                       C
Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor
Am                            F
Or did you just sit down and cry

C
Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones
G                               C
And pray for the ones who don't know
C
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
G                         C
And sob for the ones left below
        F                          C
Did you burst out in pride for the red, white and blue
        F                     C
And the heroes who died just doin' what they do
        F                       C
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
Am                       F
And look at yourself and what really matters

[Chorus]
F                    C
I'm just a singer of simple songs
          F              C
I'm not a real political man
        F               C
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I could
             Am                     F
Tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran
F                   C
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
      F                             C
And I remember this from when I was young
F                             C
Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us
Am                  F
And the greatest is love

[Verse]
C                                         G                 C
Where were you when the world stop turning on that September day
C
Teaching a class full of innocent children
   G                            C
Or driving down some cold interstate
    F                       C
Did you feel guilty 'cause you're a survivor
     F                          C
In a crowded room did you feel alone
        F                       C
Did you call up your mother and tell her you loved her
        Am                      F
Did you dust off that bible at home

C
Did you open your eyes, hope it never happened
G                                       C
And you close your eyes and not go to sleep
C
Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages
G                                 C
Or speak to some stranger on the street
        F                       C
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow
F                    C
Go out and buy you a gun
        F                         C
Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watchin'
Am                        F
And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns

F                               C
Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers
F                               C
Stand in line and give your own blood
        F                        C
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family
Am                              F
Thank God you had somebody to love

[Chorus]
Am                  F
And the greatest is love  3X
C                                          G                C
Where were you when the world stop turning on that September day-----
