Intro: Dmaj7 
 
Bm 
Do you find  
                  Dmaj7                       A7    Dmaj7 
it gets a little easier each time you make it disappear 
 
Bm 
Oh fools  
                        Dmaj7 
the magician bends the rules  
                         A7     Dmaj7 
as the crowd watches his every move 
 
       A        C#m            A7       Dmaj7  
just a shaking hand without a concrete plan 
          
 
Doo do doo do do do doo 
                     A     C#m                      
Doo do doo do do do doo 
 
Dmaj7 
 
Bm                            F# 
Sidesteps to a death defying feat 
                A7  Dmaj7  
Wait for him to reappear  
 
Bm                                F# 
Look close and see him sweat the most 
                      A7   Dmaj7 
Each time his options disappear 
 
       A       C#m             A7       Dmaj7 
Just a shaking hand without a concrete plan  
       A       C#m             A7       Dmaj7 
Just a shaking hand without a concrete plan  
       A       C#m          Dmaj7    
I'm a shaking hand without plan  
 
Doo do doo do do do doo 
Doo do doo do do do doo 
 
A - C# - Dmaj7 (x4)  
 
This final chord progression occurs after the two lines  
of "Doos" are said (basically, Shauf sings the "Doos"  
during the D Major 7 chord and then performs the  
progression after the Doos.  
 
Ending 
 
A - C# - Dmaj7
