Intro:


C  Am7  F  G


Verse 1:

C
Found it in pictures on the screen
Am7
Through the pages that I’d read
          F            Gsus4       G
Oh it infatuated me and I wanted it
C

Alive inside my fantasy
Am7
Played a love sick rhapsody
      F                 Gsus4      G
But then reality came and haunted it


Pre-Chorus 1:

     Am          G       F
And through every heartbreak
       Am       G        F      G
It got hard to keep the faith


Chorus:

                 C
But love is like magic
                                        Am7
You gotta believe in it, even when it isn’t there

I still feel it in the air
       G              C
Cause love is like magic
                                                 Am7
And when it’s gone away I know someday it’ll come back again

Greet my like an old best friend
          F
And when loneliness tries to make a home
         G
I won’t let this heart get turned to stone
C                  G/B                   Am7
Though I know how quick love can turn tragic
          F                               Gsus4     G
And even through despair, I still feel it in the air
   C
Love is like magic


Verse 2:

C
Got to taste it once or twice
Am7
Thought it would last, hoped it might
      F
But I guess I was holding on too tight
     Gsus4     G
Cause I lost it
C
As broken pieces scattered down
    Am7
And buried themselves into the ground
        C
I made sure every one of them was found
           Gsus4       G
Before they got frosted


Pre-Chorus 2:

Am              G        F
And through every heartbreak
          Am       G        F
It gets harder to keep the faith


Chorus 2:

                      C
But love is like magic
                                        Am7
You gotta believe in it, even when it isn’t there

I still feel it in the air
                     C
Cause love is like magic
                                                 Am7
And when it’s gone away I know someday it’ll come back again

Greet my like an old best friend
          F
And when loneliness tries to make a home
         G
I won’t let this heart get turned to stone
C                   G/B                   Am7
Though I know how quick love can turn tragic

And even through despair, I still feel it in the air

Love is like magic


Bridge:

Bb                  F                  C
   It’s easier to give up and say I’ve had it
          G                   Bb
Throw the towel in the basket
F                   C                 G
Revert back to old habits, trying to mask it
       F                  G              E                Am
But if I let my heart go numb, I’ll miss out on what’s to come
Am7
Without warning, without askin’
    G
I’ll find it in a simple action
        F
You’ll wrap me up inside your jacket


Chorus:

        C
Cause love is like magic
            Am
Love is like magic
                   F                       G
You just gotta believe in it, even when it isn’t there
                   C
Love is like magic
                                       Am
You gotta believe in it, even when it isn’t there

I still feel it in the air
                     C
Cause love is like magic
                                                 Am7
And when it’s gone away I know someday it’ll come back again

Greet my like an old best friend
          F
And when loneliness tries to make a home
         G
I won’t let this heart get turned to stone
C                   G/B                   Am7
Though I know how quick love can turn tragic
          F                               G
And even through despair, I still feel it in the air
    C
Love is like magic
             Am7
Love is like magic


Outro:

                        F
Though I don’t know the time or place
               G
I know it’ll be worth the wait
                         C
Cause love is like magic
