Vance Joy - Riptide chords

Highlighted       Show chord diagrams
This is my first tab so I hope you enjoy =)
Although most of the other tabs either have a capo on the first fret, or none at 
all, I play it with the capo on the 5th fret.
The only chords used throughout the entire song are Am, G and C. 
The strummig pattern is down down up down up (although you can use your own 
variations on it if you want to.



Am           G                   C (x2)

(VERSE 1)
Am               G                C
I was scared of dentists and the dark,
Am             G            C
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations,
Am           G                C
Oh all my friends are turning green,
Am                    G                       C
You're the magicians assistant in their dreams.


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

(CHORUS)
Am   G                      C
Lady, running down to the riptide,
                    Am
taken away to the dark side,
G                C
I wanna be your left hand man.
Am           G                       C
I love you when you're singing that song and,
                        Am
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
G                            C
you're gonna sing the words wrong


(VERSE 2)
Am                G                       C
There's this movie that I think you'll like,
Am                    G               C
this guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City,
Am                 G           C
this cowboy's running from himself.
Am                    G               C
And she's been living on the highest shelf


(PRE-CHORUS)


(CHORUS)


(BRIDGE)
Am            G               C
I just wanna, I just wanna know,
Am               G                  C
If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay,
Am            G                C
I just gotta, I just gotta know,
Am               G                 C(strum and hold)
I can't have it, I can't have it any other way


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


(CHORUS X3)
(Last time playing through chorus strum each chord once)
