Am Am G G C C
Ooh, ooh ooh
Am Am G G C C (hold)
Ooh, and they come unstuck

Am Am G G C C
Lady, running down to the riptide,
C C Am Am
taken away to the dark side,

I wanna be your left hand man.
Am Am G G C C
I love you when you're singing that song and,
C C Am Am
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
G G C C
you're gonna sing the words wrong

Am Am G G C C
There's this movie that I think you'll like,
Am Am G G C C

Am Am G G C C
this cowboy's running from himself.
Am Am G G C C
And she's been living on the highest shelf

Am Am G G C C
Ooh, ooh ooh
Am Am G G C C (hold)
Ooh, and they come unstuck

If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay,

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

Strum once and hold:
Am Am G G C C
I swear she's destined for the screen,
Am Am G G C C
Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen, oh
