Dmaj7 Am7
Take your hand and spin the wheel
C/G G
And tell me if these things are real.
Dmaj7 Em7
It's magical
Dmaj7 Em7
And phantasmical.
Dmaj7 Am7
Watch now as I roll the dice
C/G G
And never the same number twice.
Dmaj7 Em7
Empirical
Dmaj7 Em7
And somehow lyrical.
Cmaj7 Dmaj7
There's a song that's searching for us
Cmaj7 A7
If I only find the words I need to say.
(Chorus)
Dmaj7 Em7
Over, under, down the hollow.
Cmaj7 G A
Chase the rabbit, learn to follow.
Dmaj7 Em7 G A
Find a bit of magic in an ordinary day.
Dmaj7 Em7
If you had to make a choice
Cmaj7 G A
And, having made it, give it voice
Dmaj7 Em7 G A
Would you tell me all the words that you've been waiting there to say?
G A Dmaj7 Em7 Dmaj7 Em7
As we're remembering the games that children play.
Round and round, we chase the ball,
But in the end, we see it fall
Into a hole
Until we pay the toll.
Shimmering bubbles drifting there,
Dancing in the autumn air
Until they pop
Or someone hollers stop.
There's a song that's searching for us
If I only find the notes I need to play.
Tell me, tell me, do you see
A cat there talking in that tree?
So graciously
And quite loquaciously.
Twist the world and tweak it there
And conjure castles in the air
From fairy dust
And somehow learn to trust.
There's a song that's searching for us
If I only find the chords I need to play.
(Chorus twice)
G A
We're remembering the song
G A
We forgot for much too long
Em7 A7
Getting strong from all the games
Dmaj7 Em7 G Dmaj7
That children play.
