I was scared of dentists and the dark,
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations,
Oh all my friends are turning green,
You’re the magicians assistant in their dreams.

PRE_CHORUS

Ooh, ooh ooh
Am G C (strum once and fade out)
Ooh, and they come unstuck

CHORUS

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

VERSE 2

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

PRE-CHORUS

Ooh, ooh ooh
Am G C (strum once and fade out)
Ooh, and they come unstuck

If you’re gonna, if you’re gonna stay,

C F (strum and let fade out)
I can’t have it, I can’t have it any other way

(Strum once and hold each one)
I swear she’s destined for the screen,
Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you’ve ever seen, oh

CHORUS x3
