If CI believed in C/Bbmiracles
                    Dm  Esus-      E7  Am  
I'd know that one was happening to me
But if I FM7don't believe in C/Eparadise

    FM7-       F/G(intro chords)
I'd swear I'm there
If CI believed in C/Bbmagic spells
                 Dm7  Esus4-E7  
It all would be so clear
       Amsus4- Abaug-    C/G-      Dsus6/F#-GM7-G7  
'Cause magic spells must have brought you here
If CI could see thC/Bbe future
                    Dm  Esus-      E7  Am  
I'd see if you and I were meant to be
But I FM7don't know any maC/Egic
