 4x Ending Verse, break down the last time, end on Bm(4) 


We are magic, he said 
But don't let it all go to your head 
'Cause I bet if you had it all figured out 
Then you'd never get out of bed 
Well, no doubt 
Of all the thing's that I've read what he wrote me 
Is now sounding like the man I was hoping to be 
I keep on keeping it real 
'Cause it keeps getting easier, you'll see 

He's the reason that I'm laughing 
Even if there's no one else 
He said you've got to love yourself 

He said you shouldn't mumble when you speak 
But keep your tongue up in your cheek 
And if you stumble on to something better 
Remember that it's humble that you seek 
You got all the skill you need 
Individuality 
You got something 
Call it gumption, call it anything you want 

Because when you play the fool now 
You're only fooling everyone else 
You're learning to love yourself 

There's no price to pay 
When you give it what you take 
That's why it's easy to thank you 

Let's say take a break from our day 
And get back to the old garage 
Because life's too short anyway 
But at least it's better than average 
As long as you got me and I got you 
You know we got a lot to go around 
I'll be your friend, your other brother 
Another love to come and comfort you 

And I'll keep reminding 
If it's the only thing I ever do 
I will always love you 

It's true, our love is true 
It's you I love, it's you I love, it's you, it's you I love 
It's true, our love is true, our love is true, it's you I love 
It's you I love, it's you I love, it's you, it's you I love 

Climb up over the top 
Survey the state of the soul 
You've got to find out for yourself 
Whether or not you're truly trying 
Why not give it a shot? 
Shake it, take control 
Inevitably wind up finding for yourself 
All the strengths that you have inside still rising 
(All the strengths that you have inside of you)
