[Intro]
Am
[Verse]
             Am             F     G
It's quite simple when I'm listening
            Am              F     G
You keep leading me all the way home
            Am              G F  C
These messages you've been offering
              Am
As a magical child
              F   G
An essential child
      Am           F       G
It hinges on the driver's seat
     Am                F    G
It depends on who's in control
       Am            G F   C
When I waver on the attuning
                  Am
I kill a magical child
                F   G
This essential child
Am C
Oh
[Chorus]
     Am              F  C
To thine own self be true
    Am             C  D
To my core self be true
[Verse]
      Am           F       G
When direction is confounding
      Am           F       G
When vitality is far gone
      Am           F       G
When the spark is out, uninspiring
                    Am
I call the magical child
              F    G
The essential child
Am C
Oh
[Chorus]
     Am              F  C
To thine own self be true
    Am             C  D
To my core self be true
[Verse]
      Am           F       G
When I'm lost and I'm unraveling
           Am               F       G
When I'm off my track and I float
         Am                      F       G
When I need true north and some grounding
                    Am
I call the magical child
              F   G
The essential child
               Am
This angelic child
              F    G
This innocent child
[Chorus]
     Am              F  C
To thine own self be true
    Am             C  D
To my core self be true
          C
Angelic child
           Am
Innocent child
          F
Magical child
            Am
Essential child
