Lyrics and Music by James Keogh

Intro: Fm Eb | G#  } 2 times

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

       Fm Eb  G#
   Ah, oh-ooh-oh,
       Fm Eb        G#
   Ah, oh, and they come unstuck.

Chorus:
     Fm    Eb                  G#
     Lady, running down to the riptide
                       Fm
     Taken away to the dark side.
     Eb              G#
     I wanna be your left hand man.

     You’re gonna sing the words wrong.

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

       Fm Eb G#
   Ah, oh-oh-oh,
       Fm Eb        G#
   Ah, oh, and they come unstuck.
