Intro: G#m F# | B  } 2 times

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

       G#m F# B
   Ah, oh-ooh-oh,
       G#m F#       B
   Ah, oh, and they come unstuck.

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

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

       G#m F# B
   Ah, oh-oh-oh,
       G#m F#       B
   Ah, oh, and they come unstuck.

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

Bridge:
   G#m                          F#
   I just wanna, I just wanna know
   B                                  E

   I swear she’s destined for the screen,

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