Lyrics and Music by James Keogh

Intro: F#m E | A  } 2 times

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

       F#m E  A
   Ah, oh-ooh-oh,
       F#m E        A
   Ah, oh, and they come unstuck.

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

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

       F#m E A
   Ah, oh-oh-oh,
       F#m E        A
   Ah, oh, and they come unstuck.

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

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

   I can’t have it any other way,

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