 1st VERSE:
 "I never  believed  in things  that I couldn't  see
  I said if I  can't feel  it  then how can  it be
 No, no  magic could  happen  to me
  And then I  saw you, I  couldn't  believe  it,
  You took my heart, I  couldn't  retrieve  it,
  Said to myself,  what's it  all about
 Now I know there can  be no doubt"
 Em and DMaj Chords with the same rythm as verse parts):
 "You can do magic
  You can have anything that you desire
  Magic, and you know
  You're the one who can put out the fire"
 POST-CHORUS(Same chords and rythm):
 "You know darn well
When you cast your spell
~~~~~~~~
e|-------------------19p15--------|
  you will get your way
When you hypnotize
~~~~~~~~~~~
e|----------------15p12-----------|
 with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay".
~~~~~~~~~
e|------------------------------5h7---------|
(And then, this is heard during the "doo-doos" part; each note
is for every "doo")

B|----------------|-------------------3----|
 2nd VERSE:
 "And when the rain is beatin' upon the window pane
And when the night it gets so cold,
When I can't sleep
e|----------------15p12---10h12~~~--|
B|----------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------|
  Again you come to me
  I hold you tight, the rain disappears
  Who would believe it
  With a word you dry my tears"

A heart of stone can turn to clay"

"And  If I wanted to
 I could never be free
  I never  believed it was true
  But now  it's so clear to  me"
