G B C G Em
In storybooks they say that love is the magic of the soul
D C Am
And a straightjacket can’t hold
G B
the heart of man or Houdini’s hand
C G Em
But a heart can never see
D G Am Em
that Harry had a key and a man blissful dillusion
G B
And if he thinks love is more than a show
G C
Well what doesn’t hurt him, he don’t need to know
G Am
And if you ask me it’s a good way to go
C D G
So let’s get on with the illusion
[Her]
G B C G Em
Well the first boy I ever loved, he had an angel’s face
D C Am
And he vanished without a trace
G B
And down the line some were so fine
C G Em
But a man of my dreams
D G Am
was never who he seemed
Em
And if you share my confusion
G B
If love and life turned out as such
G C
If you’ve lost faith in the magic touch
G Am
Well maybe we’ve just lived too much
C D G
So let’s get on with the illusion

D C G
And I’ll buy you a dress and a big diamond ring
[Her]
D C G
And the vows that I conjure up won’t mean a thing
D Em Am
If you can lower that curtain and get me to sing
[Him and Her]
G B
I’ll take the magic, black or white
G Am
I couldn’t care less if it’s bona fide
C G Am
Since you and I know love’s a lie
C D G
Let’s get on with the illusion
G B
Well some may say the work is of
G C
The devil below or God above
G Am
But sense there's no such thing as love
C D G
Let's get on with the illusion
[Him]
G B
Well two soul mates in an altered state
C G Em
Oh it’s sweetness to believe
D C Am
But loving eyes are deceived
[Her]
G B
Well can you blame them, all the same
C G Em
In a cruel and lonely world
D G Am
Like a sword through a beautiful girl
Em
Let truth make no intrusion
[Him]
G B
But you and I know love’s a sham
[Her]
G C
Like old Bellacini’s sleight of hand
[Him]
G Am
Like Hocus Pocus and Alakazam
[Her]
G C
Trap doors in stage floors and holograms now

Ask me if I give a damn
