Lyrics and Music by James Keogh

Intro: Bbm G# | C#  } 2 times

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

       Bbm G# C#
   Ah, oh-ooh-oh,
       Bbm G#       C#
   Ah, oh, and they come unstuck.

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

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

       Bbm G# C#
   Ah, oh-oh-oh,
       Bbm G#       C#
   Ah, oh, and they come unstuck.

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