C                Am/D
True love is not magic
C
It's certainty
G              F            C
And what comes after certainty?
  G        F    Fm
A world of mystery
C                            G
I stood on the surf in Kauai
                   C
While my love videoed me
   F      G      C
On honeymoon
    G                F               Fm
The passenger is the driver in ecstasy
    C          G           Fmaj7
And God's face on the water

Though plain to see
                   Fm
It's still hard to read
F                                         G
Well, I never thought I'd make it this far
F                 G                  F
Little old house, recent-model car
                          Am         D7
And I got the woman of my dreams
                    G
And an imitation Eames
                      F
And I signed Willie's guitar
          C                                          G
He sang, "Hey good lookin', what you got cookin'?"
                                              Am
And I signed Willie's guitar when he wasn't looking
        G
Well, I don't believe in fate
             Fmaj7
I believe in destiny
         Fm
Whoa, my destiny is swerving in the road in front me, drunkenly
         C                   G                     F
When you take responsibility for your own divinity
     C           Am/D
True love is not magic
     C
It's certainty
    G          F               C
And what comes after certainty?
