G#
Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me
Fm
Oh things are gonna happen naturally
A#m
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
Fm
And the bright lights turn to night
A#m
Until the dawn it brings
C#D#
Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me
G#C#add9D#
Ha La La La La
D#
L-listen closer to the verse I lay
G#C#add9D#
Ha La La La La
D#
It's all about the wordplay
G#C#add9D#
Ha La La La love
D#
The wonderful thing it does
G#
Because, because
C#add9
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
D#
Yeah The Mr. A to Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay
FmA#m
The remedy is the experience.
D#G#
This is a dangerous liaison
FmA#m
I say the comedy is that it's serious.
D#G#
This is a strange enough new play on words
FmA#m
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
D#G#
The rest of your nights with the light on
FmA#m
So shine the light on all of your friends
D#G#
When it all amounts to nothing in the end.
Fm7
When it's time to get ill I got your remedy
D#
For those who don't remember me
C#add9
Well let me introduce you to my style
Fm7
I try to keep a jumble
D#
And the lyrics never mumble
C#add9
When the music's makin' people tongue-tied
Fm7
You want a new song
Like a new religion
D#
Music for the television
C#add9
I can't do the long division
Someone do the math
Fm7D#
For the people write me off like I'm a one-hit wonder
C#add9
Gotta find another way to keep from goin' under
Fm7
Pull out the stops,
D#
Got your attention
C#add9
I guess it's time again for me to mention
The wordplay
A#
Live high
Dm7
Live mighty
Cm7
Live righteously
D#m7
Takin it easy
A#Dm7
Live high, live mighty
Cm7
Live righteously
D#m7
Takin it easy
G#
Cause You and I both
