The Magician - Jason Isbell

The Magician chords

G               Em
You watch every move
    G                Em 
And call it slide of hand
    G             Em  
You notice what I do
                D               C 
But never who I am, never who I am.
G                 Em
It started on the street
     G                Em
With cards and dollar bills
G             Em
Shuffling my feet
               D                     C
Never could be still, never could be still.

G  D     C    
I am an orphan man
Em     D C
But aint we all
I can make myself dissapear
I am an orphan man
But aint we all
I know there's somewhere worse than here, worse than here.

I had a bride
I sawed her in half
A couple people cried
Most of them just laughed, most of them just laughed.

I had a son
Strong of hand and will
I taught him how to run
But never how to steal, never how to steal.

I am an orphan man 
But aint we all
I can make myself dissapear
I am an orphan man
But aint we all
I could be somewhere worse than here.

D                C
I was called amazing
D                  C
And I made folks believe
D                     C
Weren't nothing in my pockets
D              C
Nothing up my sleave.

I am an orphan man 
But aint we all
I can make myself dissapear
I am an orphan man 
But aint we all
I know there's somewhere worse than here, worse than here, worse than here.
