[Chorus]
It's Gmagic It's Bmmagic the Cway we got togDether,
There's Gmagic aBmround us in the CairD  
It's Bmmagic It's Emmagic, Cno not at Drandom
And there Cmust be a higher Dpower someGwhere.
[Verse]
CI know that magic is an Bmeasy word to condemn,
But CI've tried other Bmgirls and I wasn't Cmade for Dthem,
And I Cknew it from Bmafar in that Clonely rock and roll Dbar
That there Cmust be a higher Dpower somGewhere. Go.
[Chorus]
It's Gmagic It's Bmmagic the Cway we got tDogether
It's Gmagic as Bmif it was orCdainedD  
It's Bmmagic It's Emmagic, Cno not by Dchance,
And there Cmust be a higher Dpower I'm Gsaying.
[Verse]
CI know that magic is an Bmeasy word to abuse
But CI've tried other Bmwords but what Cwords can I Duse
And I Cknew it from that first Bmkiss so Cstingy and so Dspare
That there Cmust be a higher Dpower someGwhere.

It's Gmagic It's Bmmagic the Cway we got toDgether
It's Gmagic It's Bmjustice, it's CgraceD  
It's Bmmagic It's Emmagic, Cno not at Drandom
And there Cmust be a higher Dpower some Gplace.
[Verse]
CThey say that magic and the Bmscience world collide
But CEinstein saw me Bmlooking at her and he Cjoined my Dside
And I Cknew how it would Bmbe the Cway she hated Dme
And there Cmust be a higher Dpower someGwhere
[Chorus]
It's Gmagic It's Bmmagic the Cway we got toDgether
It's Gmagic It's Bmfreedom, it's CfairD  
It's Bmmagic It's Emmagic Cno not at Drandom
And there Cmust be a higher Dpower someGwhere.

I know that magic is an easy word to condemn,

That there must be a higher power somewhere. Go.
