Jon Krause - Too Old To Be Tricked By Magic Cifras

[Verse 1]
D
Once upon a time,
            F#m
I witnessed something truly fine
         G
And that memory kept me holding on,
   A                                      D
To wonder, now I wonder where the wonder's gone,
           D
Cuz twenty five years later,
     F#m
As I told that story to a friend
      G                                 A
I was hit with a swinging fist of realization
                                D
Yaaaaa, it smacked me upside my head,
 
[Chorus]
D                                    A
I guess I'm too old to be tricked by magic anymore,
                      G
But I'm too young for faith,
        A
My imagination is free
                       D
To choose its own destiny
                           A
Something like, oh I don't know,
                              G
I guess I'll believe that the world's a dissolving ball,
     A

[Verse 2]
   D
If once upon a time,
         F#m
We could convince ourselves we knew,
     G
That anybody had a clue,
                 A
What it means to die,
               D
That time has long since passed,
                F#m
And I think its long passed time,
            G
We quit pretending,
               A                             D
Quit spreading crazy, stupid, silly, sloppy lies,
 
[Chorus]
D                                    A
I guess I'm too old to be tricked by magic anymore,
                      G
But I'm too young for faith,
        A
My imagination is free
                       D
To choose its own destiny
                           A
Something like, oh I don't know,
                              G
I guess I'll believe that the world's a dissolving ball,
     A                               D

[Verse 3]
       D
I know once in a while,
          F#m
You do it right for a while
            G
You keep it light for a while,
               A
But before you know it,
                                            D
You're convinced some guy turned water into wine
                 F#m
Ya I know that's not your line,
               G
But I know you got one, so can i get one?
            A
It helps me organize my mind,
 
[Chorus]
D                                    A
I guess I'm too old to be tricked by magic anymore,
                      G
But I'm too young for faith,
        A
My imagination is free
                       D
To choose its own destiny
                           A
Something like, oh I don't know,
                              G
I guess I'll believe that the world's a dissolving ball,

        G                                                            D
Ya, the world's a dissolving ball in another clever magician's magic show,
