Intro: Gm F | Bb  } 2 times

Gm              F                Bb
I was scared of dentists and the dark,
Gm              F
I was scared of pretty girls
    Bb
And starting conversations.
    Gm         F               Bb
Oh, all my friends are turning green,
           Gm           F
You’re the magician’s assistant
         Bb
In their dream.

       Gm F   Bb
   Ah, oh-ooh-oh,
       Gm F         Bb
   Ah, oh, and they come unstuck.

Chorus:
     Gm    F                   Bb
     Lady, running down to the riptide
                       Gm
     Taken away to the dark side.
     F               Bb
     I wanna be your left hand man.
       Gm
     I love you
     F                        Bb
     When you’re singing that song and
                        Gm
     I got a lump in my throat ‘cause
     F                       Bb
     You’re gonna sing the words wrong.

Gm                 F                   Bb
There’s this movie that I think you’ll like,
     Gm             F
This guy decides to quit his job
    Bb
And heads to New York City.
     Gm       F               Bb
This cowboy’s running from himself,
    Gm                F                Bb
And she’s been living on the highest shelf.

       Gm F  Bb
   Ah, oh-oh-oh,
       Gm F         Bb
   Ah, oh, and they come unstuck.

Chorus:
     Gm    F                   Bb
     Lady, running down to the riptide
                       Gm
     Taken away to the dark side.
     F               Bb
     I wanna be your left hand man.
       Gm
     I love you
     F                        Bb
     When you’re singing that song and
                        Gm
     I got a lump in my throat ‘cause
     F                       Bb
