chord. It has a cool, wonky sort of sound for the rhythm that doesn't necessarily lend itself well to guitar
so a strum pattern is largely up to you. Listen for the rhythm you like and play that.

6th frets, respectively
[Verse]
CmGuess you could say she was beautifully plain
CmBrutally insane smooth like the break of a wave
GmShe was cool like a magical groove on a January day, hey
CmIn one of her moves she was hot lemonade sweet sour Cmand powerful up in your face
GmNow its tough to forget what she told you to say because it Gmjust unfolds on the back of your mind
CmAll day, Cmall dayGm  Gm

GmLady magic help me break my bad habits and put my darker days behind
CmShe loves suggesting that life was so interesting all the time
GmLady magic she was real good at it and im glad I get to call her mine
[Verse]
CmFunnel my words and I and I and I dot my tees and cross my I's
GmAnd oh lifes funny, you making that honey is bigger than a deeper meaning at all
CmSo I tried dipping into any institution that was capable of being dissolved
GmLifes tragic, see what you want you get the chance so you got to have it all and she was
