verse

Bbm             Ab               Db
I was scared of dentists and the dark
Bbm             Ab               Db
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
    Bbm    Ab                  Db
Oh, all my friends are turning green
           Bbm          Ab               Db
You're the magician's assistant in their dream
Bbm  Ab   Db
Oh - Oh - Oh, 
Bbm  Ab           Db
Oh - Oh, and they come unstuck

chorus


Bbm   Ab                  Db
Lady, running down to the riptide
                  Bbm
Taken away to the dark side
Ab              Db
I wanna be your left hand man
  Bbm      Ab                       Db
I love you when you're singing that song
                       Bbm
And I got a lump in my throat
       Ab                          Db
'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong

verse

Bbm                Ab                  Db
There's this movie that I think you'll like
     Bbm            Ab               Db
This guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City
     Bbm      Ab              Db
This cowboy's running from himself
    Bbm               Ab             Db
And she's been living on the highest shelf
Bbm  Ab   Db
Oh - Oh - Oh, 
Bbm  Ab           Db
Oh - Oh, and they come unstuck

chorus

Bbm   Ab                  Db
Lady, running down to the riptide
                  Bbm
Taken away to the dark side
Ab              Db
I wanna be your left hand man
  Bbm      Ab                       Db
I love you when you're singing that song
                       Bbm
And I got a lump in my throat
       Ab                          Db
'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong

I can't have it, I can't have it any other way

I swear she's destined for the screen
Bbm              Ab                Db
Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen, oh
