Magic

C G Am F C G Am F C Now it’s another new bank and you’d never know to look Em But over there is where I used to buy my comic books F Dm7 C I’d read ‘em ‘neath the covers 'til the flashlight batteries died Then I dreamed I was a hero with the strength of twenty men Em I’d battle my arch enemies 'til the sun come up again F Dm7 On an ordinary mortal, anything but cool Am G Pretending he could fly as he rode his bike to school C Looking for the magic G Looking for the magic C F Looking for the magic now C Looking for the magic G Looking for the magic C F Looking for the magic now C I don’t remember growing up, it just kind of happened Em Somehow it all worked out, but not like I imagined F Dm7 C Most days I never notice, sometimes it keeps me up all night I can’t go back to the garden, now I know that it’s done Em With computers and green screens, zeroes and ones F Dm7 But somewhere in the cellar I’ve got those comics in a box Am G I always meant to sell ‘em, I guess I just forgot C Looking for the magic G Looking for the magic C F Looking for the magic now C Hey, I'm looking for the magic G Looking for the magic C F And a reason to believe somehow C He was bored with his dinosaurs, all his blocks and balls Em I was just trying to keep him from climbing the walls F Dm7 C I brought the box up from the basement and spread them all out on the floor He was too young to read, so he looked at the pictures Em And his eyes grew wide and his smile got bigger F Dm7 And I know mine did the same, as I lifted him up high Am G With a blanket ‘round his neck, pretending he could fly C Looking for the magic G Looking for the magic C F Looking for the magic now C Looking for the magic G Looking for the magic C F Looking for the magic now C Looking for the magic G Looking for the magic C F Looking for the magic now C Looking for the magic G Looking for the magic C F And I feel it coming back around
