F#m C#m B E
A F#m G#sus4 G#
[VERSE]
G#m C#m A B
In good old times, remember my friend
E A C#m E B/D#
The moon was so bright and so close to us, sometimes
G#m C#m A B
We were still blind and deaf, what a bliss
E A C#m E B/D# Bsus4
Painting the world of our own, for our own eyes now
[CHORUS]
A E F#m C#m
Can we ever have what we had then, friendship unbreakable
B E A F#m Bsus4
Love means nothing to me, without blinking an eye
B F#m C#m B E
I'd fade, if so needed, all those moments with you
A F#m G#sus4 G#
If I had you beside me
[VERSE]
G#m C#m A B
One cloudy day we both lost the game
E A C#m E B/D#
We drifted so far and away
G#m C#m A B
Nothing is quite as cruel as a child
E A C#m E B/D# Bsus4
Sometimes we break the unbreakable, sometimes
[CHORUS]
A E F#m C#m
Can we ever have what we had then, friendship unbroken
B E A F#m Bsus4
Love means nothing to me, without blinking an eye
B F#m C#m B E
I'd fade, if so needed, all those moments with you
A F#m G#sus4 G# G#m
If I had you beside me now
[MODULATION]
G#m E/G# C#m D#
D#m B C# D#7
G#m A E F#
I was unable to cope with what you said
G#m A E F#
Sometimes we need to be cruel to be kind
G#m A E F#
Child that I was could not see the reason
G#m A E F#
Feelings I had were but sham and a lie?
[BRIDGE]
Bm G D A G
I have never forgotten your smile
A Bm
Your eyes oh Shamandalie
G A D G
Time went by, many memories died
Em F# D A/C#
I'm writing this down to ease my pain
Bm G D A G
You saw us always clearer than me
A Bm
How we were never meant to be
G A D G
Love denied meant the friendship would die
Em F#sus4 F# Em F#
Now I have seen the light, these memories make me cry

Love means nothing to me, without blinking an eye
B F#m C#m B E
I'd fade, if so needed, all those moments with you
A F#m Bsus4 B F#m
See the world with my wide open eyes
C#m B E
Friendship got broken, there's no other for me
A F#m Bsus4 B
Like the one of my childhood days
F#m C#m B E
Can you forgive me? Love's got better of me
A F#m G#sus4 G#
On that day back in old times
