Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Radames (Mereb)
 I once knew all  the answers
 I stood  on certain ground
 A picture  of true happiness
A  confidence so  effortless
 No brighter could be found (Oh no...)
 I never asked the questions
 That trouble me today
 I knew all there was to know
 Love worn lightly, put on show
 My conquests on display (I can't believe he's changing)
 And who'd have thought that confidence could die? (Oh no)
 Not me, Not me (Not me, not me)
 That all I took for granted was a lie (Oh no)
 Not me, Not me (Not me, not me)
 And who'd have guessed I'd throw my world away
 To be with someone I'm afraid will say
 Not me, not me? (This can never be)
 Mereb
 He's in love
 But he's not the only one
 Who'll be changed
 Amneris
 Why hasn't Radames come to see me again? We're to be married in three days, and
 yet... Aida, I must make things right with him.
I  shall not envy lovers
 But long for what they share
 Amneris
 An empty room is merciless
 Don't be surprised if I confess
 I need some comfort there
 Aida & Amneris
 And who'd have thought a love could be so good?
 Not me, not me
 And show me things I never understood
 Not me, not me
 And who'd have guessed he'd throw his world away
 To be with someone 'til his dying day?
 Not me, not me
 Radames / Amneris & Aida (Mereb)
 And who'd have thought a love could be so good? (No good)
 Not me, not me (Not me, not me)
 My/his secrets & my/his passions understood (No good)
 Not me, not me (Not me, not me)
 And who'd have guessed I'd/he'd throw my/his world away
 To be with someone 'til my/his dying day?
 Not me, not me (This can never be)
 Radames
 Not me
 Oh, not me
