[Intro] 
Dm
[Verse 1]
DmMy seams are breaking
It’s not as fFun as it sounds
I’ve got a whole world inside me 
CBegging to come out 
I'm tired of Dmwaking 
Only to Fnumb back down 
Playing hide and seek with all my dreams 
CThey’ll never find me now 
[Pre-Chorus]
DmImagine the magic that might be under the madness 
Between the mundane automatic and silicone sadness
FOh, can you imagine the Cmagic? 
DmImagine the magic that might be under the madness 
Between the mundane automatic and silicone sadness 
FTragic, can you imagine the Cmagic?
[Chorus]
When you close your Dmeyes 
Somewhere are you still Bbalive 
COr Fdo you feel, do you feel like you’re dead Cinside? 
When you close your Dmeyes 
Somehow does it your heart bBbeat 
Or are you lost lCike Fme? 
When you close your Ceyes 
DmCan you imagine the magic that might be under the madness? 
Can you imagine the magic that might be under the madness?
[Verse 2]
What if I'm Dmempty 
What if there’s Fnothing left 
Don’t want to know the answer 
Would rather sCtay here anyway 
So DmI pretend like it’s all I got 
While the Fhurricane inside my skin tDmhreatens that it’s not 
[Pre-Chorus]
DmImagine the magic that might be under the madness 
Between the mundane automatic and silicone sadness 
FTragic, can you imagine the Cmagic?
[Chorus]
When you close your Dmeyes 
Somewhere are you still Bbalive 
COr Fdo you feel, do you feel like you’re dead Cinside? 
When you close your Dmeyes 
Somehow does it your heart Bbbeat 
Or are you lost lCike mFe?
When you close your Ceyes 
DmCan you imagine the magic that might be under the madness? 
Can you imagine the magic that might be under the madness?
[Bridge]
DmBigger than we even know 
Brighter than we’re letting on 
We don’t like to let it show 
FCan’t hold back forever though

Icon For Hire – The Magic

Capo 1

Enjoy :)

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

My seams are breaking

It’s not as fun as it sounds

I’ve got a whole world inside me

Begging to come out

I'm tired of waking

Only to numb back down

Playing hide and seek with all my dreams

They’ll never find me now

[Pre-Chorus]

Imagine the magic that might be under the madness

Between the mundane automatic and silicone sadness

F C

Oh, can you imagine the magic?

Imagine the magic that might be under the madness

Between the mundane automatic and silicone sadness

F C

Tragic, can you imagine the magic?

[Chorus]

When you close your eyes

Somewhere are you still alive

C F C

Or do you feel, do you feel like you’re dead inside?

When you close your eyes

Somehow does it your heart beat

C F

Or are you lost like me?

When you close your eyes

Can you imagine the magic that might be under the madness?

[Verse 2]

What if I'm empty

What if there’s nothing left

Don’t want to know the answer

Would rather stay here anyway

So I pretend like it’s all I got

F Dm

While the hurricane inside my skin threatens that it’s not

[Pre-Chorus]

Imagine the magic that might be under the madness

Between the mundane automatic and silicone sadness

F C

Tragic, can you imagine the magic?

[Chorus]

When you close your eyes

Somewhere are you still alive

C F C

Or do you feel, do you feel like you’re dead inside?

When you close your eyes

Somehow does it your heart beat

C F

Or are you lost like me?

When you close your eyes

Can you imagine the magic that might be under the madness?

[Bridge]

Bigger than we even know

Brighter than we’re letting on

We don’t like to let it show

Can’t hold back forever though

Bigger than we even know

Brighter than we’re letting on

We don’t like to let it show

Can’t hold back forever though

[Chorus]

When you close your eyes

Somewhere are you still alive

C F C

Or do you feel, do you feel like you’re dead inside?

When you close your eyes

Somehow does it your heart beat

C F

Or are you lost like me?

When you close your eyes

Can you imagine the magic that might be under the madness?
