Interlude: [A minorAm] [G/AG/A A minorAm] x2
Mark my words
This love will make you levitate
Like a bird
Like a bird without a cage
But down to earth
If you choose to walk away, don’t walk away
It’s in the palm of your hand now baby
It’s a yes or no, no maybe
So just be sure before you give it all to me
All to me, give it all to me
So you wanna play with magic
Boy, you should know what you're falling for
Baby do you dare to do this?
Cause I’m coming at you like a dark horse
Are you ready for, ready for
A augmentedA perfect storm, perfect storm
Cause once you’re mine, once you’re mine (love trippin')
There’s no going back
Rap part
(Same chords as the verse)
Uh
She’s a beast
I call her Karma (come back)
She eats your heart out
Like Jeffrey Dahmer (woo)
Be careful
Try not to lead her on
Shorty’s heart is on steroids
Cause her love is so strong
You may fall in love
When you meet her
If you get the chance you better keep her
She's sweet as pie but if you break her heart
She'll turn cold as a freezer
That fairy tale ending with a knight in shining armor
She can be my Sleeping Beauty
I’m gon’ put her in a coma
Woo!
Fmaj
Damn I think I love her
Cmaj
Shorty so bad, I’m sprung and I don’t care
Am7Am7
She ride me like a roller coaster
G+G
Turned the bedroom into a fair (a fair!)
Fmaj
Her love is like a drug
Cmaj
I was tryna hit it and quit it
G+G
But lil' mama so dope
A minorAm
I messed around and got addicted
Chorus
So you wanna play with magic
Boy, you should know what you're falling for (you should know)
Baby do you dare to do this?
Cause I’m coming at you like a dark horse (like a dark horse)
Are you ready for, ready for (ready for)
A augmentedA perfect storm, perfect storm (a perfect storm)
Cause once you’re mine, once you’re mine (mine)
There’s no going back

Tips and tricks
- Am/F has a different connotation than 
Fmaj7Fmaj7 but is essentially the same chord
- A minorAm can and should be altered with 
Aadd9Aadd9 if you play this acoustic solo
- Bass notes should be played as semibreves and not quavers if you play acoustic solo
- The intro can be used in the chorus
