Intro c dm g Em
C. Dm
There’s no genie in the bottle,
G. ‘Em
No it doesn’t work that way
C. Dm
I don’t expect rubbing some old lamp
G. Em
Will change our fortunes today
C. Dm.
There’s no bigger illusion than
G. Em
to trust in worthless things
Am F
It’s only misery that old will road bring
G. Bm. C. G.
But if I had a moment, of magic on my hands,
Em. Bm. C
If I could end the tragic, or help
D
you see God’s plan.
G. Bm.
I’d wish all y’all never had to know
C. G
the sting of sin and death
Em
Wounds cut so deep and cut so strong
Bm
they can take away your breath
G. Bm.
I’d pray you knew love like
C. G
none you’ve seen around
Em.
And you’d feel the touch,
Bm
the touch of grace finally unbound
(Transition) c dm g Em
C. Dm.
There’s no tiny leprechaun packing gold at
G. Em
the end of some rainbow.
C. Dm.
And that Midas touch landed far less riches
G. Em
than it did sorrow
C. Dm.
Yet we chase all the same after
G. Em
treasures we may never know
Am.
down those long and winding old and
F
dirty yellow bricks of gold
G. Bm. C. G.
But if I had a moment, of magic on my hands,
Em. Bm
if I could help you see beyond life’s
C D
troubles and demands
G. Bm.
I’d wish all y’all would find the rest,
C. G
the refresh of the weary
Em.
The breath of God, blowing through your troubles
Bm
With a warm and gentle fury
G. Bm.
I’d pray you’d know love like
C. G
none you’ve seen around
Em.
And you’d feel the love, an abiding love
Bm
so deeply profound
(Break/transition)
C. Dm.
You know there isn’t any magic up
G. Em
in that falling star
C. Dm.
maybe its a picture of just how we
G. Em
landed where we are.
C. Dm
A bright streak across a darkened sky
Fmaj7. Em
A small imitation of enduring light
Am. F
Our wreckage catching fire on it’s long way down
G. Bm. C. G
So if I had a moment, of magic on my hands,
Em. Bm
if I could reach through space
C. D
and time in life’s hourglass of sand
G. Bm.
I’d wish truth and grace and peace and love
C. G
were the rule not the exception
Em.
That you would find yourselves standing
Bm
firmly at their intersection
G. Bm.
That no matter where you turn you’d see the
C. G
face of hope and mercy
Em.
And you’d feel love, perfect love the
Bm
only perfect love around
Break/transition/outro
C. Dm.
When it comes to wishes, legend is
Fmaj7. Em
you only get a few.
Am. F
So rather than chasing empty phantoms
C. G. C
Let’s chase after what is true
