Verse 1

Asus2                               F#m           E
The candyman's complaining he can't get the blood off his hands
Asus2                                F#m         E
He can't tell the difference between friends and powder fans
Asus2                                 F#m        E
Hooked on what they're given, so they just won't go away
Asus2                           F#m       E
Gave them his umbrella, took it back on a rainy day

(Then play normal A,F#m E barre chords the same as in the intro)

Verse 2

Asus2                                  F#m       E
Char De Ville's complaining, 'bout the things we shrug away
Asus2                          F#m        E
Realised it matters, when your heart gets stolen away
Asus2                            F#m       E
Not the things he didn't do, the things he didn't say
Asus2                             F#m     E
Hanging on that look he gave her, stay in touch now

Bridge

F#m
Each of them complaining about the situation
C#m
That they both know oh so well
D
Now each of them complaining 'bout his chosen vocation
Dm
But I'm not dealing with scum like you

Chorus

F#m                     D      E
And it's just a case of tragic magic
F#m                     D       E
When you can't remember feeling fantastic
F#m                  D      E
Just another case of tragic magic
Bm                                 C#m
The dealer remembers more than the man

(Then A,F#m,E Barre Chords)

Verse 3

Asus2                           F#m      E
And not alot of people have the problems that they do
Asus2                                   F#m     E
Off load all your troubles they'll come running back to you
Asus2                         F#m      E
This life is a puddle but the goodness does occur
Asus2                           F#m     E
So steal another shaving of the sultan's cook

Bridge

F#m
Keep on complaining, move in to the sadness lane
C#m
Come around and sing with me
D
Make everyone ecstatic using the chromatic
Dm
scale That no-one sings round here

Chorus

F#m                     D      E
And it's just a case of tragic magic
F#m                     D       E
When you can't remember feeling fantastic
F#m                  D      E
Just another case of tragic magic
Bm                               C#m
Remember you're no more than the man oh no
D                                  E
The dealer remembers more than the man
More than the man

You'll say "No" and call me a chancer
F#m                  C#m                         D

Just another case of tragic magic


F#m                     D      E
And it's just a case of tragic magic
F#m                     D       E
When you can't remember feeling fantastic
