I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
Am*    G*                  C*
All my friends are turning green
           Am*           G*             C*
You're the magicians assistant in their dreams




Am  G   C  F* C 
Ooooooh ooh

Am    G                   C
Lady, running down to the riptide
                  Am
Taken away to the dark side

I wanna be your left hand man
  Am       G                        C

There's this movie that I think you'd like
     Am             G                C
This guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City
     Am       G               C   F* C*
This cowboy's running from himself
    Am                G           C       F* C*
And she's been living on the highest shelf
