Magic

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

Looking for the magic
G
Looking for the magic
C                     F
Looking for the magic now

Looking for the magic now

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

Looking for the magic

Looking for the magic

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

Looking for the magic

Looking for the magic now

Looking for the magic

Looking for the magic
C                     F
Looking for the magic now
C
Looking for the magic

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
