[Intro]
Am G C C
Am G C C
 
[Verse 1]
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 magician's assistant in their dreams
 
[Pre-chorus]
Am   G    C
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Am   G             C
Ooh, ooh, and they come unstuck
 
[Chorus]
Am    G                   C
Lady, running down to the riptide, taken away
       Am         G               C
To the dark side, I wanna be your left hand man
  Am       G                        C
I love you when you're singing that song, and I got a lump
      Am             G                       C
In my throat, 'cause you're gonna sing the words wrong
 
[Verse 2]
Am                G                   C
Here'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
 
[Pre-chorus]
Am   G    C
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Am   G             C
Ooh, ooh, and they come unstuck
 
[Chorus]
Am    G                   C
Lady, running down to the riptide, taken away
       Am         G               C
To the dark side, I wanna be your left hand man
  Am       G                        C
I love you when you're singing that song, and I got a lump
      Am             G                          C
In my throat, 'cause you're gonna sing the words wrong

Am                         G
I just wanna, I just wanna know
C                                  Fmaj7
If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay
Am                             G
I just gotta, I just gotta know
C                                Fmaj7
I can't have it, I can't have it any other way
 
[Pre-chorus] (strum once and hold)
  Am          G                C
I swear she's destined for the screen
Am               G                 C
Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen, oh
 
[Chorus]
Am    G                   C
Lady, running down to the riptide, taken away
       Am         G               C
To the dark side, I wanna be your left hand man
  Am       G                        C
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
 
Am    G                   C
Lady, running down to the riptide, taken away
       Am         G               C
To the dark side, I wanna be your left hand man
  Am       G                        C
I love you when you're singing that song, and I got a lump

Anyone that happens to wander over here with a ukulele like I did, I found that if you transpose them +2, they sound perfect !! (bm , a , d , etc.) Great job on the chords !!
