Intro:
C Am Dm Gsus G
 
C
If you believe in the power of magic,
Am
I can change your mind
Dm
And if you need to believe in someone,

Turn and look behind

When we were living in a dream world,
Am
Clouds got in the way
Dm
We gave it up in a moment of madness
Gsus G
And threw it all away

Don't answer me, don't break the silence
Em
Don't let me win

Don't answer me, stay on your island
Fsus F
Don't let me in
 
Bb C
Run away and hide from everyone

Can you change the things we've said and done?

If you believe in the power of magic,

It's all a fantasy
Dm
So if you need to believe in someone,
Gsus G
Just pretend it's me
C
It ain't enough that we meet as strangers
Am
I can't set you free
Dm
So will you turn your back forever
Gsus G
On what you mean to me?

Don't answer me, don't break the silence

Don't let me win

Run away and hide from everyone
Bb C
Can you change the things we've said and done?
