Lyrics and Music by James Keogh

Intro: C#m B | E  } 2 times

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

       C#m B  E
   Ah, oh-ooh-oh,
       C#m B        E
   Ah, oh, and they come unstuck.

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

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

       C#m B E
   Ah, oh-oh-oh,
       C#m B        E
   Ah, oh, and they come unstuck.

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

Bridge:
   C#m                          B
   I just wanna, I just wanna know
   E                                  A
   If you’re gonna, if you’re gonna stay,

   I just gotta, I just gotta know.

   I can’t have it any other way,

   I swear she’s destined for the screen,

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