The Magic Hour

Am          Gm
You say the older I get
F            Dm
the better I was
Em    A                      F  
Truth from a distance, but I 
                 Eb
still don't measure up

Am                Gm             
I thought I could handle my words
F           Dm
 to your degree
         Em       A              
They keep falling out of me like 
F                  Eb
rose petals at the scene


[Pre-Chorus]
A                     D           
Fate won't change, it knows me by 
G
name
Gm6
It calls and says
A                  D
"Sell your soul to try"
      G         Gm6
"Understand it all"


[Chorus]
F                   Bb
In the light of The Magic Hour
Em                            Em7
Everything just seems to just slow 
right down
F                    Dm
The more I know, The less I know
             Em    A
(And they're still dancing)
F                    Dm
The more I know, The less I know
             Em    A
(And they're still dancing)
F                    Dm
Don't know where I'm going like I'm 
alone
             Em    E
(And they're still dancing)


[Verse 2]
Am      Gm         F       Dm
I met a normal man underground
       Em         A
He had nothing to care about
F                            Eb
You're the dark skip to the top

Continues after the ad
Am        Gm           F          Dm
Beaten up by the world, I gotta say
          Em    A      F         
There's a faded quarry livin' on 
   Eb
my face


[Pre-Chorus]
A                     D           
Fate won't change, it knows me by 
G
name
Gm6
It calls and says
A                  D
"Sell your soul to try"
      G         Gm6
"Understand it all"


[Chorus]
F                   Bb
In the light of The Magic Hour
Em                            Em7
Everything just seems to just slow 
right down
F                    Dm
The more I know, The less I know
             Em    A
(And they're still dancing)
F                    Dm
The more I know, The less I know
             Em    A
(And they're still dancing)
F                    Dm
Don't know where I'm going like I'm 
alone
         Em       E
(But I'm still dancing)


[Verse 3]
Am             Gm
Oh! Been tryna add it up
    F            Dm
But it's another game
    Em         A
No, life ain't fair, it's vanity
F                   Eb
Crowded streets all treat you the 
same
Am         Gm
Feet don't fail me now
  F
I click my heels 3 times
Dm
I'm off of the ground
  Em    A
I lose, get lost
         F                Eb
But, I'm runnin' near the crowds


[Pre-Chorus]
       A                     D    
Now my fate won't change, it knows
       G
 me by name
       Gm
And it calls
       A                 D
When I sell your soul to try
        G         Gm6
And understand it all


[Chorus]
F                   Bb
In the light of The Magic Hour
Em                            Em7
Everything just seems to just slow 
right down
F                    Dm
The more I know, The less I know
             Em    A
(And they're still dancing)
F                    Dm
The more I know, The less I know
             Em    A
(And they're still dancing)
F                    Dm
The more I know, The less I know
         Em       E
(But I'm still dancing)
