G 
Right there 
D4 
In a middle of a conversation 
C2 
Wasn't anything special you said 
                 G 
It was just there 
 
G 
Right then 
D4 
I didn't have time even over think it 
C2                                                  G 
I looked at you and all of a sudden (haha) I was all in 
 
Am                                  D/F# 
It's like my knees are all weak and them butterflies 
G               G/F#                Em 
They were dancing taking all of my air 
Am7                        Cm 
From that moment on it was very clear 
 
G             Am     Bm        C 
That's when I knew I fell in love 
              Bm      Am         G 
That's when I knew you were the one 
               Am        Bm        F           Em7 
That's when I knew you stole my heart away from me 
            C           Bm       Am 
That's when I knew that I was sunk 
          C       C/B Bm) A7    D7      G 
That was the moment that I knew I was in love 
              Bm                      C                    Cm 
That's when I knew... that's when I knew... that's when I knew 
 
G 
That day 
         D4 
I didn't know where we were going 
Where the night would end 
         C 
I didn't know there was somethin' brewing, and if it was 
                            G 
I didn't know how much I'd care 
 
       G 
That touch 
          D4 
When you barely held my hand 
                             C2 
I was overcome with feelings I don't understand 
                                                  G 
Not in a millions years I didn't think that we'd be here 
 
(Pre Chorus) 
 
(Chorus) 
 
End of Second Chorus: 
 
              Bm                       C               Bm 
That's when I knew... that's when I knew... that's when I knew 
Am                G 
Don't you know it, hey 
              Bm                       C                 Cm 
That's when I knew... that's when I knew... that's when I knew, baby 
 
G 
You know if you know 
                   Cm 
You know whatcha feel 
 
And there's no denying 
                    G 
I know that's for real 
 
There's nothing to do 
           Cm 
Just let it in 
           
Gotta surrender 
 
 
                   G 
That's when I knew it... that minute 
                   Cm 
That's when I knew... it was dependable 
G 
Sometimes you get it 
                  Cm 
Sometimes you get it 
 
That's when I knew it baby 
G                                  Cm                      G                  
Yeah... that's when I knew... that's when I knew we fell in love
