Magic Chords & Lyrics - Mark Erelli

[INTRO]
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
[C] [G] [Am] [F]

[VERSE]
Now it’s a[C]nother new bank and you’d never know to look
But [Em]over there is where I used to buy my comic books
I’d [F]read ‘em ‘neath the covers 'til the [Dm7]flashlight batteries [C]died

[VERSE]

Then I dreamed I was a hero with the strength of twenty men
I’d [Em]battle my arch enemies 'til the sun come up again
On an [F]ordinary mortal, [Dm7]anything but cool
Pre[Am]tending he could fly as he [G]rode his bike to school

[CHORUS]
[C]Looking for the magic
[G]Looking for the magic
[C]Looking for the magic [F]now
[C]Looking for the magic
[G]Looking for the magic
[C]Looking for the magic [F]now

[VERSE]
I [C]don’t remember growing up, it just kind of happened
Some[Em]how it all worked out, but not like I imagined
Most [F]days I never notice, some[Dm7]times it keeps me up all [C]night

[VERSE]

I can’t go back to the garden, now I know that it’s done
With com[Em]puters and green screens, zeroes and ones
But [F]somewhere in the cellar I’ve got those [Dm7]comics in a box
I [Am]always meant to sell ‘em, I [G]guess I just forgot

[CHORUS]
[C]Looking for the magic
[G]Looking for the magic
[C]Looking for the magic [F]now
Hey, I'm [C]looking for the magic
[G]Looking for the magic
And a [C]reason to believe some[F]how

[VERSE]
He was [C]bored with his dinosaurs, all his blocks and balls
I was [Em]just trying to keep him from climbing the walls
I [F]brought the box up from the basement and [Dm7]spread them all out on the [C]floor

[VERSE]

He was too young to read, so he looked at the pictures
And his [Em]eyes grew wide and his smile got bigger
And I [F]know mine did the same, as I [Dm7]lifted him up high
With a [Am]blanket ‘round his neck, pre[G]tending he could fly

[CHORUS]
[C]Looking for the magic
[G]Looking for the magic
[C]Looking for the magic [F]now
[C]Looking for the magic
[G]Looking for the magic
[C]Looking for the magic [F]now
[C]Looking for the magic
[G]Looking for the magic
[C]Looking for the magic [F]now
[C]Looking for the magic
[G]Looking for the magic
And I [C]feel it coming back a[F]round
