Lyrics and Music by James Keogh

Intro: Dm C | F  } 2 times

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

       Dm C   F
   Ah, oh-ooh-oh,
       Dm C         F
   Ah, oh, and they come unstuck.

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

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

       Dm C  F
   Ah, oh-oh-oh,
       Dm C         F
   Ah, oh, and they come unstuck.

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