Verse 

C                      G     C        
In a dusty old tent, 7 miles out of town 

C                           G            C 
I set up my cards, and the wind knocks them down 

       Am                     C             F 
And I try for the people who want to believe... 

    C                        G          C 
In miracles, and magic, and life's mysteries 

C                         G         C 
Now I was born early, I always feel late 

C                             G        C 
I can never catch up to the promises I make 

C                          G      C 
And my mama she cried when I ran away 

C                                G        C 
And when her tears dried it was just another day. 


    F                         G 
And I made my living pulling rabbits out of hats 

C                          Am 
Girls on white ponies and balancing acts 

    F 
Now I have grown tired 

         G            Am 
No more tricks up my sleeve 

    C 
And for my last number  

    G              C 
I think I?ll just leave 



Verse 

C                         C          C        
I once had a girl and I loved her a lot 

C                               G     C        
She knew my mistakes and she sweetly forgot 

       Am                         C          F 
Well I tried hard to keep her, I wanted her here 

    C                        G          C 
But all good magicians make things disappear 

    F                         G 
And I made my living pulling rabbits out of hats 

C                          Am 
Girls on white ponies and balancing acts 

    F 
Now I have grown tired 

         G            Am 
No more tricks up my sleeve 

    C 
And for my last number  

    G              C 
I think I?ll just leave 



Refrain 

    F           G                   C                              Am 
And I put that smile on the face of young girls and boys wandered into this place 

     F                       G 
The red velvet curtain hides all of my fears 

Am                       D          F            G 
And when the show is over they all reappear 


Verse 

C                             G      C        
Please, show me something, I want to believe 

C                              G             C 
This life of illusion, it's myself I have deceived 

       Am                           C        F 
And a younger man's daydreams are quickly forgot 

      C                        G        C 
The tents all come down on a cold empty lot 


    F                         G 
And I made my living pulling rabbits out of hats 

C                          Am 
Girls on white ponies and balancing acts 

    F 
Now Time's made me tired, 

         G               Am 
Took the tricks from my sleeve 

    C 
And for my last number  

    G              C 
I think I?ll just leave
