[Verse 1]

   Em       Dmaj        Em   Dmaj            Em
"I never believed in things that I couldn't see
           Dmaj       Em    Dmaj           Em
 I said if I can't feel it then how can it be
Dmaj    Em          Dmaj        Em    Dmaj
 No, no magic could happen to me
           Em    Dmaj   Em       Dmaj       Em
 And then I saw you, I couldn't believe it,
             Dmaj      Em        Dmaj       Em
 You took my heart, I couldn't retrieve it,
           Dmaj            Em      Dmaj
 Said to myself, what's it all about
Cmaj                  Dmaj
 Now I know there can be no doubt"

[Chorus]

"You can do magic
 You can have anything that you desire
 Magic, and you know
 You're the one who can put out the fire"
