Am    G                   C
Lady, running down to the riptide
                   Am
Taken away to the dark side
G               C
I wanna be your left hand man

               Em                        C                      G
She sees them walking in a straight line, that's not really her style
         Em                         C                      G
And they all got the same heartbeat, but hers is falling behind
Em                         C                G
Nothing in this world could ever bring them down
Em                       C                          G
  Yeah they're invincible and she's just in the background

Am   G   C
Ooh, ooh ooh
Am            G       C
Ooh, and they come unstuck

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

Am             G               C
I was scared of dentists and the dark
Am              G                C
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
   Am     G                   C
Oh all my friends are turning green
           Am        G                  C
You're the magicians assistant in their dreams

And she says
Em                    C7M
   I wish that i could be like the cool kids
G                         D
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
Em                    C7M
   I wish that i could be like the cool kids
G                  D
  Like the cool kids (ooh, and they come unstuck)
