F#m         Bm       G         A
In good old times, remember my friend
    D           G             Bm           D   D/C#
The moon was so bright and so close to us, sometimes
F#m           Bm        G            A
We were still blind and deaf, what a bliss
D            G            Bm           D   D/C# Asus4
Painting the world of our own, for our own eyes now


            G                D     Em         Bm
Can we ever have what we had then, friendship unbreakable
A          D             G        Em          Asus4
Love means nothing to me, without blinking an eye
A   Em          Bm     A           D
I'd fade, if so needed.. All those moments with you
G    Em      F#sus4 F#
If I had you beside me


F#m        Bm     G             A
One cloudy day we both lost the game
   D          G       Bm    D  D/C#
We drifted so far and away
F#m        Bm       G          A     
Nothing is quite as cruel as a child
D            G           Bm         D   D/C#  Asus4
Sometimes we break the unbreakable, sometimes


            G                D     Em         Bm
Can we ever have what we had then, friendship unbroken
A          D             G        Em          Asus4
Love means nothing to me, without blinking an eye
A   Em          Bm     A           D
I'd fade, if so needed.. All those moments with you
G    Em      F#sus4 F# F#m  D  Bm  C# C#m  A  B 
If I had you beside me now

F#m     G       D              E
I was unable to cope with what you said           
F#m          G          D           E
Sometimes we need to be cruel to be kind
F#m          G          D           E
Child that I was, could not see the reason
F#m        G            D          E
Feelings I had were but sham and a lie?


Am F    C        G           F            G        Am 
I  have never forgotten your smile.. Your eyes oh, Shamandalie
F         G        C        F
Time went by, many memories died
Dm                       E            C  C/B
I'm writing this down to ease my pain
Am  F   C         G            F        G       Am
You saw us always clearer than me.. How we were never meant to be    
F      G              C                F
Love denied meant the friendship would die
Dm                  Esus4 E       Dm               E
Now I have seen the light.. These memories make me cry

D....  G...  Bm..  D - D/C# - Asus4


            G                D     Em         Bm
Can we ever have what we had then, friendship unbroken
A          D             G        Em          Asus4
Love means nothing to me, without blinking an eye
A   Em          Bm     A           D
I'd fade, if so needed.. All those moments with you
G       Em            Asus4 A    Em  
See the world with my wide  open eyes
               Bm     A            D
Friendship got broken.. There's no other for me
G        Em        Asus4     A
Like the one of my childhood days
Em      Bm           A          D    
Can you forgive me?  Love's got better of me,
G       Em          F#sus4 F#     
On that day back in old    times
