Riptide

Em              D                G
I was scared of dentists and the dark
Em              D                G
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
Em            D                G
Oh, all my friends are turning green
Em         D                             G
You're the magician's assistant in their dreams


[Pre-Chorus]
(Only one strum per chord)
Em  D    G
Oh, oh-o-oh,
Em      D             G
Oh, oh-o-oh, and they come unstuck


[Chorus]
Em    D                   G
Lady, running down to the riptide
                  Em
Taken away to the dark side
D               G
I wanna be your left-hand man
Em         D                        G
I love you when you're singing that song and
                   Em
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
D                           G
You're gonna sing the words wrong


[Verse 2]
Em                D                   G
Here's this movie that I think you'll like
Em                  D                G
This guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City
Em            D            G
This cowboy's running from himself
Em             D                     G
And she's been living on the highest shelf


[Pre-Chorus]
(Only one strum per chord)
Em  D    G
Oh, oh-o-oh,
Em      D             G
Oh, oh-o-oh, and they come unstuck


[Chorus]
Em    D                   G
Lady, running down to the riptide
                  Em
Taken away to the dark side
D               G
I wanna be your left-hand man
Em         D                        G
I love you when you're singing that song and
                   Em
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
D                           G
You're gonna sing the words wrong


[Bridge]
Em                         D
I just wanna, I just wanna know
G                                C
If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay
Em                         D
I just gotta, I just gotta know
G                                C
I can't have it, I can't have it any other way
Em            D                G
I swear she's destined for the screen
Em               D                 G
Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen, oh


[Chorus]
Em    D               G
Lady, running down to the riptide
                  Em
Taken away to the dark side
D               G

Em       D               G
Oh lady, running down to the riptide
                  Em
Taken away to the dark side
