Am G C (x2)

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 (hold)
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
I love you when you're singing that song and,
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

And she's been living on the highest shelf
