This is my first tab so I hope you enjoy =)
Although most of the other tabs either have a capo on the first fret, or none at
all, I play it with the capo on the 5th fret.
The only chords used throughout the entire song are Am, G and C.
The strummig pattern is down down up down up (although you can use your own
variations on it if you want to.
Am G C (x2)
(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 magicians assistant in their dreams.
(PRE-CHORUS)
Am G C
Ooh, ooh ooh
Am G C (hold)
Ooh, and they come unstuck

(CHORUS)
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
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 2)
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
(PRE-CHORUS)
(CHORUS)
(BRIDGE)
Am G C
I just wanna, I just wanna know,
Am G C
If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay,
Am G C
I just gotta, I just gotta know,
Am G C(strum and hold)
I can't have it, I can't have it any other way

Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen, oh
