Magic

Bb
I don't do this sort of thing, I said
             F             C                  Dm
As he leaned in and ran his fingers through my hair
Am                     Bb
I could tell he didn't believe me
            Bb                   C               Dm
And I could tell from his sweet smile he didn't care
Bb
He slipped his hand under my skirt
          C               F              Dm
And for a moment I looked deep into his eyes
Am                Bb
I didn't see much in them
              F           C     Dm         C
Apart from an emptiness I sadly recognized


[Chorus]


                         Dm
Let me take you far away from here, he said
Bb                       C                Dm
I know some magic that is sure to pick you up
C                        Dm
I thought of me alone in my cold hotel bed
Bb          C           Gm
And I said, oh well, why not
[Solo]
F          Dm       C
Bb         F        Dm       C


[Chorus]


Bb
He took me back to where he lives
         C                  Dm               Am
We had a drink and tried to start a friendly chat
                                 Bb
But neither of us felt much like talking
           F                  C             Dm
About the lives that we were there to forget
Bb
And so he laid me on the bed
       C              F                                   Dm      Am
And we undressed; the street lights sliced us through the blinds
                           Bb
His skin felt warm against my body
                     C             Dm   C
But my body couldn't hold on to my mind


[Verse]


                   Dm                        Bb
I drifted far away above this stranger's room
                                    C          Dm        Bb
My thoughts walked down the crowded streets of yesterday
                           Dm                   Bb
Until he stopped and asked if he had come to soon
        C                  F
I shook my head and turned away


[Solo]


F      D      C    Gm
Gm     F      D    G    C


[Verse]


Bb
We laid a little while in silence
             C                          Dm
'Til I got up, got dressed and splashed cold water on my face
Am                  Bb
I better go, I said politely
                C
I don't usually stay out this late....
