We were still blind and deaf, what a bliss?

If I had you beside me"

I was un-able to cope with what you said
A5 B5 C5 Bb F G
Some- times we need to be cruel to be kind
A5 B5 C5 Bb F G
Child that I was, could not see the reason
A5 B5 C5 Bb F G
Fee-lings I had were but sham and a lie?

I have never forgotten your smile
Bb Cm
Your eyes, oh, Shamandalie

Time went by, many memories died
(___FILL 6___)
Fm G D#5 D#5*(no3)
I'm writing this down to ease my pain
Cm G# D# Bb G#
You saw us always clearer than me
(FILL 7)
Bb Cm
How we were never meant to be
G# Bb D# G#
Love denied meant the friendship would die
Fm Gsus4 G
Now I have seen the light
Fm G
These memories make me cry

Intrumental: every instrument on the track plays this, I actually like to play only the lows notes
you can play the full chords if you want but is kind of difficult at that speed.
