[For original song tuning, transpose -4 so it begins in Fm.] [Verse 1]
Am                       Am
It seems she finally got a taste of fame

                    E7       Am
Caught a break, and critical acclaim

                          E7            Dm
A glass of champagne, she started feeling safe

                E7
The black magic 8

                       Am
No, it didn't feel the same
[Pre-Chorus]
Am           Am
And tomorrow's now misunderstood

                    Am
'Cause it's reading “outlook not so good”

                    Dm
If these signs would point to "yes"

    E7                 Am
She could maybe feel the same
[Chorus]
E7                           F
So shake the magic 8 until it breaks, breaks, breaks

    E7                               Am
And close your eyes and take a leap of faith, faith, faith

      G                         F
Don't be afraid of going your own way, way, way

E7                       Am
Shake the magic 8 until it breaks
[Verse 2]
E7                    Am
So concentrate and ask again
Are we at the end?
E7              Am
We’rе starting to begin and mend

             E7           Dm
Oh, but then is happinеss a trend?

                    E7
A friend, they once said

                      Am
There's beauty in the pain
[Pre-Chorus]
              Am
And tomorrow's now misunderstood

                    Am
'Cause it's reading “outlook not so good”

                    Dm
If these signs would point to "yes"

    E7                 Am
She could maybe feel the same
[Chorus]
   E7                      F
So shake the magic 8 until it breaks, breaks, breaks

    E7                               Am
And close your eyes and take a leap of faith, faith, faith

      G                         F
Don't be afraid of going your own way, way, way

E7
Shake the magic 8 until it

Am
It breaks, it breaks, it breaks

             F         E7
It breaks my heart every time

            C                   D7
Losing all rhythm and losing all rhyme

             F
Control your fate, fate, fate

    E7                       Am
And shake the magic 8 until it breaks
[Bridge]
   G           Am
As she wipes her tears, she understands

                      C
That some things are simply out of hand

                 Dm                E7
So she bides her time and counts the sand
And leans into the pain [Chorus]
   E7                      F
So shake the magic 8 until it breaks, breaks, breaks

    E7                               Am
And close your eyes and take a leap of faith, faith, faith

      G                         F
Don't be afraid of going your own way, way, way

E7
Shake the magic 8 until it

Am
It breaks, it breaks, it breaks

             F         E7
It breaks my heart every time

            C                   D7
Losing all rhythm and losing all rhyme

             F
Control your fate, fate, fate

    E7
And shake the magic 8 until it

Am
It breaks, it breaks, the magic 8 until it breaks

  F      E7     C      D7
(Heart, time, rhythm, rhyme)

              F
Control your fate, fate, fate

    E7                        Am
And shake the magic 8 until it breaks
