^{Key: :[Abm] (w: Vance Joy) (BPM: 102)}
INTRO: [Abm] [Gb] [B] : [x2]

VERSE 1:
[Abm] I was scared of [Gb] dentists and the [B] dark
[Abm] I was scared of [Gb] pretty girls and [B] starting conversations
Oh, [Abm] all my [Gb] friends are turning [B] green
You're the [Abm] magician's as-[Gb]-sistant in their [B] dreams

PRE-CHORUS 1:
[Abm] Ooh, [Gb] ooh, [B] ooh
[Abm] Ooh, [Gb] ooh, and they [B] come unstuck

CHORUS:
[Abm] Lady, [Gb] running down to the [B] riptide, taken away
To the [Abm] dark side, [Gb] I wanna be your [B] left hand man
I [Abm] love you [Gb] when you're singing that [B] song, and I got a lump
In my [Abm] throat, 'cause [Gb] you're gonna sing the [B] words wrong

VERSE 2:
[Abm] There's this movie [Gb] that I think you'll [B] like
This [Abm] guy decides to [Gb] quit his job and [B] heads to New York City
This [Abm] cowboy's [Gb] running from [B] himself
And [Abm] she's been living [Gb] on the highest [B] shelf

REPEAT PRE-CHORUS:

REPEAT CHORUS:

BREAK: [*R1]

BRIDGE:
[Abm] I just wanna, I just wanna [Gb] know
[B] If you're gonna, if you're gonna [Emaj7] stay
[Abm] I just gotta, I just gotta know [Gb]
[B] I can't have it, I can't have it [Emaj7] any other way

PRE-CHORUS 2:
[Abm] I swear she's [Gb] destined for the [B] screen
[Abm] Closest thing to [Gb] Michelle Pfeiffer [B] that you've ever seen, oh

REPEAT CHORUS: [x3]
