C
 One trip to Amsterdam
Caug
 4 trips around the sun
F                   G
 Has it really been that long?
            C         F
 Since your name was on my tongue?

[Bridge]
Am G5 G

[Verse 2]
C
 Down at the grocery mart
Caug
 I pray I see your mom
F                             G
 Cause if I could get back to the place
           C                  F
 The place where you came from
F
 Think I could bring you back
Am                   G5
 Body and soul intact
G
 You be the bird behind the drapes


[Chorus]
                  Am7  C
I’ll be the magician
                  G    F
I’ll be the magician
          Am7  C
The magician
                 G
I’ll be the magician
              G
You be the bird
               C
I’ll be a magician


[Verse 3]
C
 Get to the gig on time
Caug
 Play all the notes you like
F                        G
 I put your full name on the list
        C             F
 I keep the doorman in my sight

[Bridge]
Am  G5  G

[Verse 4]
C
 I should be used to this
Caug
 I’m not new to loneliness
F                      G
 And waking up to find the kitchen
    C         F
 In its emptiness
F
 Your heart and soul unmatched
Am                           G5
 God, could you spare me half
G
 You be the girl inside the crate


[Chorus]
                  Am7  C
I’ll be the magician
                  G    F
I’ll be the magician
          Am7  C
The magician
                 G
I’ll be the magician
              G
You be the bird
               C
I’ll be a magician
                 G    F
I’ll be the magician
          Am   C
The magician
                 G
I’ll be the magician
           G
You be the bird
               C
I’ll be a magician


[Bridge]
             C
 I would wait all night, glass-eyed
Caug
 By the back door like the way we did
F
 Meet me at midnight
Am                G5                 G
 Crack me up good like the way you did
              F
 I would wait all night
Am                                  G5
 By the back door like the way we did
G
 Like the way we did
G
 Like the way we did


[Bridge and Chorus]
              Am7
 I would wait all night, glass-eyed
C      
 By the back door like the way we did
G
 Meet me at midnight
F                 
 Crack me up good like the way you did
              C
 I would wait all night
Am             G5
 By the back door like the way we did
G             
 Like the way we did
G
 Like the way we did
