        Am  G  C

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

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

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

C                  Am
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
G                     C
You're gonna sing the words wrong

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

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

Am    G                   C
Lady, running down to the riptide
 C                 Am
