If You Knew What I Knew

this is a beautiful song by the backstreet boys . . . i tried to figure out the chords . . . here it is
and for the strumming pattern . . , listen to the song carefully , towards the end
( when brian littrel sings “if you knew what i knew my baby , you would never have
said what you said . . ” ) you can hear the clear strumming . that is the exact
strumming for the whole song . enjoy
