C                      F                 Am 
Many's the time when I found I'd lost my way, love 
      C                    F          Am 
I was stranded inside of a solid city wall 
        C                            F                    Am 
With my hand on my heart, I couldn't tell you if I'd been dreaming 
              C               F                  Am 
Take me to my lover's arms, I won't wake up this time 

          D5              Am 
Maybe I believe in magic, love 
               D5              Am 
Find it in the moon and stars above 
                 F                       C 
Drag it from the one horse town and I'll bring you down 
         D5               F    (pausa) 
and I'll love you for all time 

         C       G 
But it's alright 
    D5               F 
You know we can't go back 
            C      G 
I said it's alright 
          D5               F 
but you know we can't go back 
    D5               F 
and when we can't go back... 

C                           F             Am 
Can't pass the time, well I guess must be leaving 
C                         F                        Am 
Gone are the days and the dreams we screamed out loud 
        C                             F                  Am 
With my heart in my mouth, I couldn't tell you what just hit me 
              C              F                    Am 
Take me to my lovers arms, I won't back down this time 

          D5              Am 
Maybe I believe in magic, love 
               D5              Am 
Find it in the moon and stars above 
                 F                       C 
Drag it from the one horse town and I'll bring you down 
          D5               F   (pausa) 
and I'll love you for all time 

         C       G 
And it's alright 
        D5               F 
but you know we can't go back 
            C       G 
I said it's alright 
        D5               F 
but you know we can't go back 
    D5               F 
you know we can't go back!
