[verse: 1]
   Em7     Bm7       Cmaj7         D       
I never believed in things that I couldn't
Em7             Bm7     Cmaj7            D         
See  I said if I can't feel it then how can it 
Em7   Bm7     Cmaj7         D         
Be    No, no magic could happen to 
Em7  Bm7           Cmaj7  D
Me      And then I saw   you
   Em7       Bm7       Cmaj7        D
I couldn't believe it, you took my heart
   Em7      Bm7          Cmaj7    D
I couldn't retrieve it, said to myself
          Em7  Bm7  Cmaj7
What's it all about
Cmaj7                 D
Now I know there can be no doubt
 
 
[chorus:]
           Em7  Bm7   Cmaj7  D
You can do ma--gic    
             Em7  Bm7        Cmaj7  D
You can have any--thing that you  desire
Em7 Bm7   Cmaj7  D
Ma--gic
              Em7       Bm7             Cmaj7    D
And you know you're the one who can put out the fire
Em7  Bm7       Cmaj7         D
You know darn well when you cast your
 Em7            Bm7      Cmaj7         D
Spell you will get your way when you hypno-
   Em7  Bm7      Cmaj7     D
--tize with your eyes  a heart of
 Em7       Bm7     Cmaj7      D
Stone can turn to clay
 
4 x | Em7  Bm7  Cmaj7  D   |
    | Doo, doo, doo,   doo |
 
[verse: 2]
Em7  Bm7     Cmaj7    D 
And when the rain is beating
 Em7      Bm7   Cmaj7  D
Upon the window pane  and when 
     Em7      Bm7    Cmaj7  D
The night it gets so cold, when I can't
 Em7  Bm7  Cmaj7      D
Sleep      Again you come
   Em7 Bm7 Cmaj7        D
To me       I hold you tight
    Em7       Bm7   Cmaj7   D
The rain disappears who    would 
  Em7   Bm7   Cmaj7 
Believe it          
Cmaj7            D
with a word you dry my tears
 
[chorus:]
           Em7  Bm7   Cmaj7  D
You can do ma--gic    
             Em7  Bm7        Cmaj7  D
You can have any--thing that you  desire
Em7 Bm7   Cmaj7  D
Ma--gic
              Em7       Bm7             Cmaj7    D
And you know you're the one who can put out the fire
Em7  Bm7       Cmaj7         D
You know darn well when you cast your
 Em7            Bm7      Cmaj7         D
Spell you will get your way when you hypno-
   Em7  Bm7      Cmaj7     D

  And If I wanted to
Bm7               E
I could never be free
   Am7                   Bm7
I never believed it was true
     C                    D  D
But now it's so clear to me
