Gm D7 Gm Cm7 Gm D7 Gm [Verse 1]
Gm D7 Magician, magician,
Gm Cm7 Take me upon your wings
Gm D7 Gm And gently roll the clouds away
Gm D7 I'm sorry, so sorry,
Gm Cm7 I have no incantations
Gm D7 Gm Only words to help sweep me away [Chorus]
Gm I want some magic to sweep me away
Gm I want some magic to sweep me away
Csus2 I want to count to five
Gm Turn around and find myself gone
D7 Fly me through the storm
Cm7 Gm And wake up in the calm [Verse 2]
Gm D7 Release me from this body
Gm Cm7 From this bulk that moves beside me
Gm D7 Gm Let me leave this body far away
Gm D7 I'm sick of looking at me
Continues after the ad
Gm Cm7 I hate this painful body
Gm D7 Gm That disease has slowly worn away
Gm D7 Magician take my spirit
Gm Cm7 Inside I'm young and vital
Gm D7 Gm Inside I'm alive please take me away
Gm D7 So many things to do - it's too early
Gm Cm7 For my life to be ending
Gm D7 Gm For this body to simply rot away [Chorus]
Gm I want some magic to keep me alive
Gm I want a miracle I don't want to die
Csus2 I'm afraid that if I go to sleep I'll never wake
Gm I'll no longer exist
D7 I'll close my eyes and disappear
Cm7 Gm And float into the mist [Solo]
Gm D7 G Cm7 Gm D7 Gm [Verse 3]
Gm D7 Somebody please hear me
Gm Cm7 My hand can't hold a cup of coffee
Gm D7 Gm My fingers are weak - things just fall away
Gm D7 Inside I'm young and pretty
Gm Cm7 Too many things unfinished
Gm D7 Gm My very breath taken away
Gm D7 Doctor you're no magician -
Gm Cm7 and I am no believer
Gm D7 Gm I need more than faith ... can give me now
Gm D7 I want to believe in miracles
Gm Cm7 not just believe in numbers
Gm D7 Gm I need some magic to take me away [Chorus]
Gm I want some magic to sweep me away
Gm I want some magic to sweep me away
Csus2 Visit on this starlit night Replace the stars the moon the light
Gm the sun's gone
D7 Fly me through this storm
Cm7 Gm And wake up in the calm ...
D7 I fly right through this storm
Cm7 Gm And ... I ... Wake ... Up ... In ... The ... Calm
