Magic And Loss Chords by Lou Reed

[C#] _ [A] _ _ [C#m] _ _ [A] _ [C#] When you pass through [A] the fire, you pass through [C#] humble, you pass through [E] a maze of self-doubt.
[C#] When you pass through [A] humble, the lights can [C#] blind you, some people [A] never figure that out.
[C#]
You pass through [A] arrogance, you pass through [C#] hurt, you pass through [A] an ever-present past.
[C#] And it's best not to [A] wait for luck to [C#] save you, pass through [A] the fire to light.
[G#m]
You pass through [A] the fire, to the light, [G#] [C#m] you pass through [A] the fire, to the light.
[G#]
It's best not [A] to wait for luck to [G#m] save you, pass through [A] the fire, to the light. _
_ [C#] _ _ [A] _ _ [C#] _ _ [A] _
[C#] As you pass through [A] the fire with your right hand [C#m] waving, there are things you have to throw [A] out.
[C#] That caustic [A] dread inside your [C#] head will never help [A] you out.
[C#m] You have to be very [A] strong, cause you'll start from [C#m] zero, over and [A] over again.
[C#m] And as the smoke [A] clears, there's an all-consuming [C#m] fire lying [A] straight ahead.
_ [G#] Lying [A] straight ahead.
_ [C#] Lying [A] straight ahead.
_ [G#] As the smoke [A] clears, there's an all-consuming [G#m] fire lying [A] straight ahead.
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ [A] _
_ [C#] _ _ [A] _ [C#] They say no one [A] person can do it all, [C#] but you want to in [A] your head.
[C#] But you can't be [A] Shakespeare, and you can't be [C#] Joyce.
So what is [A] left instead?
[G#] You're stuck [E] with yourself, [A] and a rage that can hurt you.
[G#] You have to start at the beginning [A] again.
[G#] And just [E] this moment, [A] this wonderful fire, [G#m] started up again.

_ [A] _ _ [C#] _ _ [A] _ _ [C#] _
_ [A] _ [C#m] _ _ _ [A] _ [C#m] When you pass through [A] humble, when you pass through [G#] sickly,
when you [C#m] pass through I'm [A] better than you all.
[C#] When you pass through [A] anger and self [C#]-deprecation, and have the strength to [A] acknowledge it all.
[C#] When the past makes you [A] laugh, and you can save it, the [C#] magic that lets you survive [A] your own war.
[C#m] You find that that [A] fire is passion, [C#m] and there's a door up ahead [A] on a wall.
_ [G#] _
_ [A] _ _ [G#] _ _ [A] _ _ [G#] _
[C#m] _ [A] _ _ [G#m] _ _ [A] _ _ [C#]
As you [A] pass through fire, as you pass through [G#] fire, try to [A] remember its name.
[C#m] When you pass through [A] fire, looking at your lips, [C#m] you cannot [A] remain the same.
[G#m] And if the buildings [A] burn and move towards that [G#] door, but don't quit, [A] the flame's out.
[G#] There's a bit of [A] magic in everything, [G#m] and then some loss to [A] even things out.
[G#m] Some loss to [E] even things out.
[G#m] Some [E] loss to [A] even things out.
[G#m] There's a bit of [E] magic in everything, [G#m] and then some loss to [A] even things out. _ _
