Capo 6

Great song from an unearthed artist :)

The whole song is basically the same chords over and over.

Em C9 G

* = Strum Once 

The intro is just that chord progression repeated twice
and the verse goes the same. I'm really unsure of the lyrics...

Em              C9             G
I was scared of dentists and the dark
Em              C9             G
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
Em         C9                G
Oh all my friends are turning green
       Em              C9             G
You must've [something something] in our dreams
  Em     C9     G
Uh oooh oh oooh oooh
Em         C9           G *
Oh oooh oh oooh and they come unstuck
Em     C9                 G
Lady, runnin' down to the riptide
G                  Em
Taken away to the dark side
C9           G
I wanna be your left hand man
       Em       C9                     G
And I love you when you're singin' that song and
                      Em
I gotta lump in my throat cos
C9                      G
You're gonna sing the words wrong

Em                 C9               G
There's this movie that I think you'll like
     Em             C9            G
This guy decides to quit his job and head to New York City
      Em       C9       G
This cowboy's running from himself
Em                C9          G
She's been living on the highest shelf


  Em     C9     G
Uh oooh oh oooh oooh
Em         C9           G *
Oh oooh oh oooh and they come unstuck

Em           C9           G
I just gotta, I just gotta know
Em             C9            G
If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay
Em          C9          G

Em              C9             G *
I can't have it, I can't have it any other way

   Em *        C9 *          G *
I swear she's destined for the screen
Em *              C9 *           G *
