Call it magic
G/B      D
Call it true
G/B        C
I call it magic,
G/B           D
When I'm with you
G/B             C
And I just got broken
G/B          D
Broken into two
G/B              C
Still I call it magic,
G/B               D           G/B <-(one stroke)
When I'm next to you
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       C
And I don't, And I don't, And I don't, And I don't
     G/B
No I don't, it's true
   D
I don't, No, I don't, No, I don't, No, I don't
             G/B
Want anybody else but you

Call it magic

Cut me into two
G/B                C
And with all your magic,
G/B               D
I disappear from view
G/B              C
And I can't get over, 
G/B             D
Can't get over you
G/B               C
Still, I call it magic
G/B              D            G/B
Such a precious truth
 
 
[Chorus]

And I don't, And I don't, And I don't, And I don't
     G/B
No I don't, it's true
   D
I don't, No, I don't, No, I don't, No, I don't
             G/B
Want anybody else but you
   C
I don't, No I don't, No I don't, No I don't
     G/B
No I don't, it's true
   D
I don't, No I don't, No I don't, No I don't
             G/B
Want anybody else but you

       C        G/B    D
Wanna fall, I fall so far
         C     G/B     D
I wanna fall, fall so hard
  G/B      C
I call it magic
       G/B     D
And I call it true
G/B       C     G/B  D
Call it maaaaaa-aaa-gic
 
   G/B   C      G/B   D
Oououh       Oououh

After all that we've been through

Perfect! But I prefer doing it without capo, two half steps up and then, instead of just A/C# make it what i would call an Amaj6/C# (meaning x-4-2-2-2-2). That just fits better to my hands :-) Nice job, man!

Nice tab man loving this song

seen comments like 'if you can't be bothered to learn barre chords you should give up' Ignorant people like that make me angry! This tab is great, especially if you want to make the sound acoustic and mellow! keep up the good work!
