2nd VERSE

What some take from magic at first glance
is just sleight of hand
depending how much you believe
Something gets lost when you translate
it's hard to keep straight
perspective is everything

And I know now which is which
and wnat angle I oughta look at it from
I suppose I should be happy to be misread
better be that than
some of the other things I have become

and baby we've all heard it all before

      A augmentedA       E minorEm
oh I could get specific but

      A augmentedA    E minorEm
nobody needs a catalog

         G+G      D MajorD     A augmentedA
with details of a love I can't sell anyone
