Verse:
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
Youʼre the magicianʼs assistant in their dream
Am  G C
a-wooh
Am    G         C
Oh,     and they come unstuck

Chorus:
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 youʼre singing that song and
                   Am
I got a lump in my throat ʼcause
G                     C
Youʼre gonna sing the words wrong

Verse:
Am            G                   C
Is this movie that I think youʼll like
     Am             G                C
This guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City
     Am       G                 C
This cowboyʼs running from himself
    Am                G              C
And sheʼs been living on the highest shelf
Am   G C
a-wooh
Am    G         C
Oh,     and they come unstuck

I just wanna, I just wanna know
C                                 F
If youʼre gonna, if youʼre gonna stay
Am                         G
I just gotta, I just gotta know
C                                F
I canʼt have it, I canʼt have it any other way
   Am         G                 C
I swear sheʼs destined for the screen
Am               G                 C
Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that youʼve ever seen, oh
