Am C G Em Am
What I've felt, what I've known, never shined through in what I've shown.
C G E Am
Never be, never see. Won't see what might have been.

I'm not sure about the G just before the E at the end of the verse, though.
And for people who like to play chords and sing, try adding in the little intro pattern.
