      Em
In my life I’ve seen sorrow,
D
Heartache and pain.
Cmaj7
I’ve been burned by the sunshine,
B7sus4              B7
Been drowned in the pouring rain,
Em
Had too many lovers
D
And not enough love.
Cmaj7
I’ve been tried and convicted
   F#m7-5                B7
Of things I’m not guilty of.

Am
I was locked in a prison
           Em
‘Till you came and set me free.
Am              Am/G
So, how can you say,
         F#m7-5       B7
You’re no good for me?

Chorus:
Em            D6        Am7
Now that the magic has gone,
          Dsus4       D
You just wanna walk away,
         G
Nothing left to say
 F#m7-5 B7
Anyway.
Em            D         Am
Now that the magic has gone,
           Cmaj7
There’s no sense in holding on.
F#m7-5     B7                    Em
Baby now, now that the magic is gone.

You know love can be tender
Love can be cruel
It can smile like an angel
While it treats you just like a fool
It captures and haunts you
Until you give in
And it stacks the dice against you
In a game you never can win

Just when I was thinking
Maybe luck was here with me
You tell me it's over
Say it's time for breaking free

Chorus

I won't try to hold you down
My mind tells me let go
But my heart keeps asking how
There's no prizes for the loser
Only the winner takes the purse
Some say that love is a blessing
But to me it's just a curse

Chorus:
Now that the magic has gone
You just wanna walk away
Nothing left to say, anyway
Now that the magic has gone
There's no sense in holding on
Baby now that the magic is gone
Now that the magic has gone
You just wanna walk away
Nothing left to say
