[Intro]
C G Am F
C G Am F
[Verse]
Now it’s aCnother new bank and you’d never know to look
But Emover there is where I used to buy my comic books
I’d Fread ‘em ‘neath the covers 'til the Dm7flashlight batteries Cdied
[Verse]
Then I dreamed I was a hero with the strength of twenty men
I’d Embattle my arch enemies 'til the sun come up again
On an Fordinary mortal, Dm7anything but cool
PreAmtending he could fly as he Grode his bike to school
[Chorus]
CLooking for the magic
GLooking for the magic
CLooking for the magic Fnow
CLooking for the magic
GLooking for the magic
CLooking for the magic Fnow
[Verse]
I Cdon’t remember growing up, it just kind of happened
SomeEmhow it all worked out, but not like I imagined
Most Fdays I never notice, someDm7times it keeps me up all Cnight
[Verse]
I can’t go back to the garden, now I know that it’s done
With comEmputers and green screens, zeroes and ones
But Fsomewhere in the cellar I’ve got those Dm7comics in a box
I Amalways meant to sell ‘em, I Gguess I just forgot
[Chorus]
CLooking for the magic
GLooking for the magic
CLooking for the magic Fnow
Hey, I'm Clooking for the magic
GLooking for the magic
And a Creason to believe someFhow
[Verse]
He was Cbored with his dinosaurs, all his blocks and balls
I was Emjust trying to keep him from climbing the walls
I Fbrought the box up from the basement and Dm7spread them all out on the Cfloor
[Verse]
He was too young to read, so he looked at the pictures
And his Emeyes grew wide and his smile got bigger
And I Fknow mine did the same, as I Dm7lifted him up high
With a Amblanket ‘round his neck, preGtending he could fly
[Chorus]
CLooking for the magic
GLooking for the magic
CLooking for the magic Fnow
CLooking for the magic
GLooking for the magic
CLooking for the magic Fnow
CLooking for the magic
GLooking for the magic
CLooking for the magic Fnow
CLooking for the magic
GLooking for the magic
And I Cfeel it coming back aFround
