Key: G
Introduction:
G
Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me
Em
Oh things are gonna happen naturally
Am
Oh taking your advice I'm looking on the bright side
C D
And balancing the whole thing
G
But often times those words get tangled up in lines
Em
And the bright lights turn to night
Am
Until the dawn it brings
C D
Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me
G C9 D
Ha La La La La
D
L-listen closer to the verse I lay
G C9 D
Ha La La La La
D
It's all about the wordplay
G C9 D
Ha La La La love

I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
D

They say I'm all about the wordplay
Em Am
The remedy is the experience.
D G
This is a dangerous liaison
Em Am
I say the comedy is that it's serious.
D G
This is a strange enough new play on words
Em Am
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
D G
The rest of your nights with the light on
Em Am
So shine the light on all of your friends
D G
When it all amounts to nothing in the end.
Em7
When it's time to get ill I got your remedy
D
For those who don't remember me
C9
Well let me introduce you to my style
Em7
I try to keep a jumble
D
And the lyrics never mumble
C9
When the music's makin' people tongue-tied
Em7
You want a new song
Like a new religion
D
Music for the television
C9
I can't do the long division
Someone do the math
Em7 D
For the people write me off like I'm a one-hit wonder
C9
Gotta find another way to keep from goin' under
Em7
Pull out the stops,
D
Got your attention
C9
I guess it's time again for me to mention
The wordplay
