Intro: Em D | G  } 2 times

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

       Em D   G
   Ah, oh-ooh-oh,
       Em D         G
   Ah, oh, and they come unstuck.

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

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

       Em D  G
   Ah, oh-oh-oh,
       Em D         G
   Ah, oh, and they come unstuck.

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

   I can’t have it any other way,
     Em          D                  G

   Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer
   G
   That you’ve ever seen, oh.
