Intro
D Bm
1. He cut her in half With a shiny steel saw
G Em G9 A
He put her all back together And I was in awe
D A G Em
As rabbits and doves and bandanas appeared
D Em Dadd9 A
And he pulled a quarter right out of my ear
G A
I turned to my dad, I said, 'How'd he do it?'
G A
And dad, he just smiled, he said, 'There's nothing to it."
Refrain
D F#m Em7 A
It's magic and you don't want to know
D F#m G A
Just how it's done, it would ruin the show
Bm Bm7
You've just got to believe
D E Gmaj7 A
'Cause believing is what makes it happen
G Bm G Bm
Oh it's nothing but magic
D A Bm Bm7
2. Now I fell in love the first time in 8th grade
G D Em7 A
And I started shaving the very next day
D A G Em
Just walking her home made me light on my feet
D Em Dadd9 A
And I promised her things you just wouldn't believe
G A
And when I asked my dad why girls had that effect
G A
He said, 'Go ask your mom, I ain't figured it yet'
Refrain
3. Well the years have been hard, the years have been kind
These last years have taken both parents of mine
Some things you can't change with a wave of your hand
So many things I still don't understand
But, in a hospital gown, standing next to my wife
I'm watching this miracle come into life
