C  G  Am  F
C  G  Am  F

[Verse]
          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

[Verse]

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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse]
  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

[Verse]

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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse]
       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

[Verse]

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

[Chorus]
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
