Lyrics and Music by James Keogh

Intro: Ebm C# | F#  } 2 times

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

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

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

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

       Ebm C# F#
   Ah, oh-oh-oh,
       Ebm C#       F#
   Ah, oh, and they come unstuck.

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