2nd VERSE
What some take from magic at first glance
is just sleight of hand
depending how much you believe
Something gets lost when you translate
it's hard to keep straight
perspective is everything
And I know now which is which
and wnat angle I oughta look at it from
I suppose I should be happy to be misread
better be that than
some of the other things I have become
CHORUS
v: strum down
^: strum up

But nobody wants to hear this tale
A Em
The plot is cliched - the jokes are stale

and baby we've all heard it all before
A Em
oh I could get specific but
A Em
nobody needs a catalog
G D A
with details of a love I can't sell anyone
