Riptide

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

I was scared of dentists and the dark

I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations

Oh, all my friends are turning green

You're the magician's assistant in their dreams

[Pre-chorus]

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, and they come unstuck

[Chorus]

Lady, running down to the riptide, taken away

To the dark side, I wanna be your left hand man

I love you when you're singing that song, and I got a lump

In my throat, 'cause you're gonna sing the words wrong

[Verse 2]

There's this movie that I think you'll like

This guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City

This cowboy's running from himself

And she's been living on the highest shelf

[Pre-chorus]

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, and they come unstuck

[Chorus]

Lady, running down to the riptide, taken away

To the dark side, I wanna be your left hand man

I love you when you're singing that song, and I got a lump

In my throat, 'cause you're gonna sing the words wrong

[Bridge]

I just wanna, I just wanna know

If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay

I just gotta, I just gotta know

I can't have it, I can't have it any other way

[Pre-chorus] (strum once and hold)

I swear she's destined for the screen

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

[Chorus]

Lady, running down to the riptide, taken away

To the dark side, I wanna be your left hand man

I love you when you're singing that song, and I got a lump

In my throat, 'cause you're gonna sing the words wrong

Lady, running down to the riptide, taken away

To the dark side, I wanna be your left hand man

I love you when you're singing that song, and I got a lump

In my throat, 'cause you're gonna sing the words wrong

Lady, running down to the riptide, taken away

To the dark side, I wanna be your left hand man

I love you when you're singing that song, and I got a lump

In my throat, 'cause you're gonna sing the words wrong yeah, I got a lump

In my throat, 'cause you're gonna sing the words wrong
