       C
Never been very good at the things that
             G
I should do better
           C
And I've tried very hard just to see if
            G
I could forget ya
     F     G     E7                 Am
But never, ever could we get back together
   D                  G
I doubt it somehow, doubt it, yes I do

          C
Did you think that
                                     G
I would be so good that it wouldn't matter
             C
And did you feel at the time
                                 G
that the weight of the time is greater
      F      G     E7                   Am
It's magic, magic, everything else has had it
      F      G     E7                  Am
It's magic, magic, everything that you do
      D              G                     C
I've had it, magic, had that magical feeling

Chorus:
C                      E               F
Just call me and you know I'll be there
                    Fm               C
Don't worry me you know I'll be there
                   E               F
No matter if it's day or night, you
               Fm
Why worry if I say I'll be there

Did it all, looking back at the road,
maybe lacked some measure
Could it be, could it be you and me wanted
just the pleasure, my pleasure
But magic, magic, everything else has had it
It's magic, magic, everything that you do
I've had it, magic, had that magical feeling

Chorus:
Just call me and you know I'll be there
Don't worry me you know I'll be there
Won't matter if it's day or night, you
Why worry if I say I'll be there

G                               C  G
Right or wrong, it's still the same
                       C
It's a win-or-lose-it game

Never been very good at the things
that I should do better
Could it be, could it be you and me wanted
just the pleasure, my pleasure
But magic, magic, everything else has had it
It's magic, magic, everything that you do
I've had it, magic, had that magical feeling

Magic, oh it's magic, everything else has had it
It's magic, magic, everything that you do
I've had it, magic, had that magical feeling
Magic, oh it's magic, everything else has had it.
