Shades
AThese shades can hide the tears I cried
But not the way I feel inside
DThese shades can only do their part oh Ayeah
EThese shades can hide a broken Aheart
These shades can have my red red eyes
but not the hurt left by your lies
These shades can only do their part oh yeah
These shades can hide a broken heart
Chorus:
DDark shades I keep on wearing as Along as I’m still caring 
EFor you and I still love you Aso, Oh, why do you go now
These shades can hide my eyes away
but not the pain I feel each day
These shades can only do their part oh yeah
These shades can hide a broken heart
Chorus
These shades can hide my eyes away...
