G#m  F#  B  B  2x


[Verse]
G#m              F#                B
I was scared of dentists and the dark,
G#m              F#                 B
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations,

You're the magicians assistant in their dreams.

Lady, running down to the riptide,

taken away to the dark side,
F#               B
I wanna be your left hand man.
  G#m       F#                        B
I love you when you're singing that song

'cause you're gonna sing the words wrong

And she's been living on the highest shelf

I just gotta, I just gotta know,
B                                E~
I can't have it, I can't have it any other way
  G#m          F#                 B
I swear she's destined for the screen,

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