[Verse 1]
D    A      Em        B7
   I wait      at the table
D           A          Em       B7
   And hold hands with weeping strangers
D              A     Em        B7
   Wait for you   to join the group
 
 
[Verse 2]
D           A     Em        B7
  The tambourine,   jingle-jangle
D         A  Em        B7
  The medium roams and rambles
      D        A  Em           B7
  Not taken in, I break the circle
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C             A
  I want this man
Dm        E
  To go away now
 
 
[Chorus 1]
G           Bm   A
With a kiss, I'd pass the key
G
And feel your tongue
Bm             A
Teasing and receiving
G
 With your spit
Bm            Em
 Still on my lip
             Dm
You hit the water
 
 
[Interlude]
Gm Dm
Dm Em
Em Dm Gm
 
[Verse 3]
D                A
Him and I in the room
Em7               B7
To prove you are with us too
D       A               Em7          B7
   He's using code that only you and I know
      D             A    Em7          B7
This is no trick of his, this is your magic
    D                 A
I'd catch the queues, watching you
Em7              B7                 D
Hoping you'd do something wrong
 
 
[Verse 4]
A          Em7                B7
Everybody thinks you'll never make it
    D         F#m7      Em7
But every time   you escape
Bm             C
 Rosabel, believe
         A
Not even eternity
Dm             E
  Can hold Houdini! ("Rosabel, believe!")
 
 
[Chorus 2]
G
Through the glass
Bm   A
 I'd watch you breathe
G
Bound and drowned
    Bm                A
And paler than you've ever been
G
  With your life
Bm                      Em
  The only thing in my mind
Em                       Dm
  We pull you from the water (Houdini...)
 
 
[Interlude]
Gm Dm
Dm Em
Em Dm Gm
 
[Outro]
Gm
You
    Dm
And I
    Em         Dm
And Rosabel believe
