Show me the magic

I must've lost it somewhere

Out of the blue

Temptation's all around me

The train came along and I got on board
  A                 D
I danced with the darkness
    A              E
The skies were the limit

It's such a long way to fall

Looking for the way back, hoping for the way back

Somehow the grass was always greener
