Intro:

C majorC Cadd9Cadd9 h C majorC C

Verse:

C majorC           G+G   C majorC
In a dusty old tent, 7 miles out of town

C majorC              G+G      C majorC
I set up my cards, and the wind knocks them down

    A minorAm           C majorC       FF
And I try for the people who want to believe...

  C majorC            G+G     C majorC
In miracles, and magic, and life's mysteries

C majorC             G+G     C majorC
Now I was born early, I always feel late

C majorC               G+G    C majorC
I can never catch up to the promises I make

C majorC             G+G   C majorC
And my mama she cried when I ran away

C majorC                G+G    C majorC
And when her tears dried it was just another day.


Chorus:

  FF             G+G
And I made my living pulling rabbits out of hats

C majorC             A minorAm
Girls on white ponies and balancing acts

  FF
Now I have grown tired

     G+G      A minorAm
No more tricks up my sleeve

  C majorC
And for my last number

  G+G       C majorC
I think I’ll just leave

Verse:

C majorC             C majorC     C majorC
I once had a girl and I loved her a lot

C majorC                G+G   C majorC
She knew my mistakes and she sweetly forgot

    A minorAm             C majorC     FF
Well I tried hard to keep her, I wanted her here

  C majorC            G+G     C majorC
But all good magicians make things disappear


Chorus:

  FF             G+G
And I made my living pulling rabbits out of hats

C majorC             A minorAm
Girls on white ponies and balancing acts

  FF
Now I have grown tired

     G+G      A minorAm
No more tricks up my sleeve

  C majorC
And for my last number

  G+G       C majorC
I think I’ll just leave


Refrain:

  FF      G+G          C majorC               A minorAm
And I put that smile on the face of young girls and boys wandered into this place

   FF            G+G
The red velvet curtain hides all of my fears

A minorAm            D MajorD     FF      G+G
And when the show is over they all reappear


Verse:

C majorC               G+G   C majorC
Please, show me something, I want to believe

C majorC               G+G       C majorC
This life of illusion, it's myself I have deceived

    A minorAm              C majorC    FF
And a younger man's daydreams are quickly forgot

   C majorC            G+G    C majorC
The tents all come down on a cold empty lot


Final Chorus:
(Different)

  FF             G+G
And I made my living pulling rabbits out of hats

C majorC             A minorAm
Girls on white ponies and balancing acts

  FF
Now Time's made me tired,

     G+G        A minorAm
Took the tricks from my sleeve

  C majorC
And for my last number

  G+G       C majorC
