Riptide

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*
All my friends are turning green
           Am*           G*             C*
You're the magicians assistant in their dreams


[Bridge]

Am  G   C  F* C
Ooooooh ooh
Am  G             C*
Ooooooh, and they come unstuck


[Chorus]

Am    G                   C
Lady, running down to the riptide
                  Am
Taken away to the dark side
  G             C            F*
I wanna be your left hand man
  Am       G                        C
I love you when you're singing that song and
                   Am
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
G                     C
You're gonna sing the words wrong


[Verse]

Am                 G                  C   F* 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


[Bridge]

Am  G   C  F* C
Ooooooh ooh
Am  G           C*
Ooooh, and they come unstuck


[Chorus]

Am    G                   C
Lady, running down to the riptide
                  Am
Taken away to the dark side
  G             C            F*
I wanna be your left hand man
  Am       G                        C
I love you when you're singing that song and
                   Am
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
G                     C          F* C*
You're gonna sing the words wrong


[Verse]

Am                         G   F* G*
I just wanna, I just wanna know
C                                F   G* C*
If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay
Am                         G   F* G*
I just gotta, I just gotta know
C                                Am        F  C  G
I can't have it, I can't have it any other way


[Bridge]

  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
                  Am
Taken away to the dark side
  G             C            F*
I wanna be your left hand man
  Am       G                        C
I love you when you're singing that song and
                   Am
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
G                     C          F* C*
You're gonna sing the words wrong


[Chorus]

   Am    G                   C
Oh lady, running down to the riptide
                  Am
Taken away to the dark side
G               C         F* C*
I wanna be your left hand man
  Am       G                        C
I love you when you're singing that song and
                   Am
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
G                           C
You're gonna sing the words wrong
F                  C
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
G                     C*
You're gonna sing the words wrong
