E

[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
