The song is played with a piano, so don't expect much, and try to play with
the chords to make it sound right..
The A-E5-D5 in the 1st part could be something like this:
e|------------------|
B|------------------|
G|------------------|
D|----6-------------|
A|---7---77-5-------|
E|-5---6------------|
or
e|------------------|
B|------------------|
G|------------------|
D|----6-------------|
A|---7---77-5-------|
E|-5---5------------|
which sounds better than playing just plain chords.
Intro: Play the above twice -.-
1st Part:
A E5
I opened my eyes
D5 A E5 D5
While you were kissing me once more than once
