E D A G If I could wave my magic wand. C A# F I am made from the dust of the stars C A# F And the oceans flow in my veins C A# F Here I hide in the heart of the city C A# F Like a stranger coming out of the rain The evening plane rises up from the runway Over constellations of light I look down into a million houses And wonder what you're doing tonight E D A G If I could wave my magic wand I'd make everything all right Chorus: D C D I'm not one to believe in magic G A G D C But I sometimes have a second sight D I'm not one with a sense of proportion G A G When my heart still changes overnight I had a dream of a winter garden A midnight rendezvous Silver, blue and frozen silence What a fool I was for you I had a dream of the open water I was swimming away out to sea So deep I could never touch bottom What a fool I used to be If I could wave my magic wand I'd set everybody free Chorus: I'm not one to believe in magic Though my memory has a second sight I'm not one to go pointing my finger When I radiate more heat than light E A Don't ask me B A I'm just improvising E A C#m My illusion of careless flight E A Can't you see B A My temperature's rising E A C#m I radiate more heat than light G Am7 Don't ask me D C I'm just sympathizing G Am7 Em My illusion's a harmless flight G Am7 Can't you see D C My temperature's rising G Am7 Em I radiate more heat than light Don't ask me I'm just sympathizing My illusion's a harmless flight Can't you see My temperature's rising I radiate more heat than light Chorus: I'm not one to believe in magic But I sometimes have a second sight I'm not one with a sense of proportion When my heart still changes overnight I'm not one to believe in magic (If I could wave my magic wand) Though my memory has a second sight (I'd make everything all right) I'm not one to go pointing my finger (If I could wave my magic wand) When I radiate more heat than light (I'd set everybody free) I'm not one to believe in magic (If I could wave my magic wand) I'm not one to believe in magic You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Am  A#  Am7  C  C#m  D  E  Em  F  G  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
