verse 1 
                                   G 
With just a word, a single sign of care 
            F#m                        B 
With just a touch, I could have been beguiled 
                        E        A 
But circumstances never smiled 
                         E 
Because the magic wasn't there 


verse 2 
                                   G 
Who was it then, the poet who once said? 
                   F#m                 B 
How beautiful they are, the trains you miss 
                            E      A 
So time can't put an end to this 
                    E 
I have the memory instead 


Bridge 
      G                  C           F 
These nothing scenes are still experience 
         B                          E 
You even weep for what did not take place 
 G                  C              F 
Events that don't occur are still events 
                          E 
Some people vanish with a trace 


verse 3 
                                   G 
With just a word, a single sign of care 
            F#m                        B 
With just a touch, I could have been beguiled 
                        E        A 
But circumstances never smiled 
                         E 
Because the magic wasn't there 


verse 4 
                                   G 
With just a word, a single sign of care 
            F#m                        B 
With just a touch, I could have been beguiled 
                        E        A 
But circumstances never smiled 
    Ab                                 A 
And now what never happened, drives me wild 
                         E       A 
Because the magic wasn't there 
                 E       A 
The magic wasn't there 
                 E       A 
The magic wasn't there
