Asus2
I don't say it but I feel it
Asus2
Is it because I'm, because I'm English?
Asus2
What's all the news then? How is the music?
Asus2
And are you happy? I didn't say anything
Asus2
Lay down the towels, lie in the sunshine
Asus2
I'm so in love with you, I'm so in love
Asus2
I'm so in love, I'm so in love
[Chorus]
E
You got the magic, I think I missed it
Dsus2
Homesick for a place that never existed
E
You got the magic, I think I missed it
Dsus2
Homesick for a place that never existed
Dsus2 Asus2
Oh, but I feel it
[Verse 2]
Asus2
My poolside companion, golden medallion
Asus2
I want to be just like you when I grow up
Asus2
Don't burn the house down, don't lеt the kids out
Asus2
You run the show now, yes, you own thе house
[Chorus]
E
You got the magic, I think I missed it
Dsus2
Homesick for a place that never existed
E
You got the magic, I think I missed it
Dsus2
Homesick for a place that never existed
Dsus2 Asus2
Oh, but I feel it
[Post-Chorus]
Asus2
Ooh
Asus2
But I feel it
Asus2
I don't say it, I don't say it, I don't say it
Asus2
I'm so in love, I'm so in love
Asus2
I'm so in love, I'm so in love
Asus2
I'm so in love, I'm so in love with you
[Chorus]

You got the magic, I think I missed it

Homesick for a place that never existed
E
You got the magic, I think I missed it
