Capo 6

Great song from an unearthed artist :)

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

E5 C5 G5

* = Strum Once 

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

E5              C5             G5
I was scared of dentists and the dark
E5              C5             G5
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
E5         C5                G5
Oh all my friends are turning green
       E5              C5             G5
You must've [something something] in our dreams
  E5     C5     G5
Uh oooh oh oooh oooh
E5         C5           G5 *
Oh oooh oh oooh and they come unstuck
E5     C5                 G5
Lady, runnin' down to the riptide
G5                  E5
Taken away to the dark side
C5           G5
I wanna be your left hand man
       E5       C5                     G5
And I love you when you're singin' that song and
                      E5
I gotta lump in my throat cos
C5                      G5
You're gonna sing the words wrong

E5                 C5               G5
There's this movie that I think you'll like
     E5             C5            G5
This guy decides to quit his job and head to New York City
      E5       C5       G5
This cowboy's running from himself
E5                C5          G5
She's been living on the highest shelf


  E5     C5     G5
Uh oooh oh oooh oooh
E5         C5           G5 *
Oh oooh oh oooh and they come unstuck
E5     C5                 G5
Lady, runnin' down to the riptide
G5                  E5
Taken away to the dark side
C5           G5

       E5       C5                     G5

                      E5

C5                      G5
You're gonna sing the words wrong

E5           C5           G5
I just gotta, I just gotta know
E5             C5            G5
If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay
E5          C5          G5
I just gotta, I just gotta know
E5              C5             G5 *
I can't have it, I can't have it any other way

   E5 *        C5 *          G5 *
I swear she's destined for the screen
E5 *              C5 *           G5 *
