Tina Dico – Magic (Guitar)

Bb
I don't do this sort of thing, I said

             F             C                  Dm 
As he leaned in and ran his fingers through my hair

Am                     Bb
I could tell he didn't believe me

            Bb                   C               Dm 
And I could tell from his sweet smile he didn't care

Bb
He slipped his hand under my skirt

          C               F              Dm
And for a moment I looked deep into his eyes

Am                Bb
I didn't see much in them

              F           C     Dm         C
Apart from an emptiness I sadly recognized

                         Dm
Let me take you far away from here, he said

Bb                       C                Dm
I know some magic that is sure to pick you up

C                        Dm
I thought of me alone in my cold hotel bed

Bb          C           Gm
And I said, oh well, why not

Bb
He took me back to where he lives

         C                  Dm               Am
We had a drink and tried to start a friendly chat

                                 Bb
But neither of us felt much like talking

           F                  C             Dm
About the lives that we were there to forget

Bb
And so he laid me on the bed

       C              F                                   Dm      Am
And we undressed; the street lights sliced us through the blinds

                           Bb
His skin felt warm against my body

                     C             Dm   C
But my body couldn't hold on to my mind

                   Dm                        Bb
I drifted far away above this stranger's room

                                    C          Dm        Bb
My thoughts walked down the crowded streets of yesterday

                           Dm                   Bb
Until he stopped and asked if he had come to soon

        C                  F
I shook my head and turned away

Bb
We laid a little while in silence

             C                          Dm
'Til I got up, got dressed and splashed cold water on my face

Am                  Bb
I better go, I said politely

                C
I don't usually stay out this late....
