Lyrics
VERSE 1
My life is charmed, so I'm told
I'm bad at good, but good as gold
Tin Man doesn't know how he feels
Emotions are a double edged steel
CHORUS
Alchemy and Chemistry
Magic and reality
Mystery of attraction
Or a volatile reaction
VERSE 2
Better your mettle before you're old
Easier than turning lead to gold
It's a strange alchemy
Figuring out with whom to be
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Am G6 Fmaj7 B7 B7 B7 B7 Em Em Em
Am G6 Fmaj7 D7 C#7 C7 B7 (G) Em Em
VERSE 2
Experimental chemistry
Sometimes leads to catastrophe
Magic is no strategy
only leads to tragedy
CHORUS
BRIDGE (hard ending)
