Magic by Ben Folds Five
Magic
Dm C F
From The back of her big brown eyes,
Dm C F Ebm C
I knew you’d be gone as soon as she could,
F Ebm C
And I hoped she would.
(Same chords)
We could see that you weren’t your self,
And the lines on your face did tell us this aswell,
You’d never be your self again.
Chorus
Ebm
Saw you last night,
C Dm
Danced by the light of the moon,
Ebm
Stars in your eyes,
C Dm
Free from the life that you knew.
(same chords as verse)
Shala la la la lie,
Sha la la la la la la
De da da da da da
Dm C F Ebm C
Your the magic that holds the sky up from the ground,
Dm C F Ebm C
The draft that blows these cool winds around,
Dm C F Eb,m C
Trade places with an angel now.
Chorus
Saw you last night,
Danced by the light of the moon,
Stars in your eyes,
Free from the life that you knew
Saw you last night,
Light in your eyes,
Danced in my room.
(same as first verse)
Sha la la…..
