"I never believed in things that I couldn't see 
           DMaj       Em    DMaj           Em
 I said if I can't feel it then how can it be 
DMaj    Em          DMaj        Em    DMaj
 No, no magic could happen to me 
           Em    DMaj   Em       DMaj       Em 
 And then I saw you, I couldn't believe it, 
             DMaj      Em        DMaj       Em
 You took my heart, I couldn't retrieve it, 
           DMaj            Em      DMaj
 Said to myself, what's it all about 
CMaj                  DMaj
 Now I know there can be no doubt"

 You can have anything that you desire 
 Magic, and you know 
 You're the one who can put out the fire"

with your eyes 
A heart of stone can turn to clay".

 Who would believe it 
 With a word you dry my tears"
