Vance Joy – Riptide chords

~ Riptide - Vance Joy ~

Capo 6

Great song from an unearthed artist :)

The whole song is basically the same chords over and over.

Em Cadd9 G

* = Strum Once 

The intro is just that chord progression repeated twice
and the verse goes the same. I'm really unsure of the lyrics...

Em              Cadd9             GI was scared of dentists and the dark
Em              Cadd9             GI was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
Em         Cadd9                GOh all my friends are turning green
       Em              Cadd9             GYou must've [something something] in our dreams
  Em     Cadd9     GUh oooh oh oooh oooh
Em         Cadd9           G*Oh oooh oh oooh and they come unstuck
Em     Cadd9                 GLady, runnin' down to the riptide
G                  EmTaken away to the dark side

                      EmI gotta lump in my throat cos
Cadd9                      GYou're gonna sing the words wrong

Em                 Cadd9               GThere's this movie that I think you'll like
     Em             Cadd9            GThis guy decides to quit his job and head to New York City
      Em       Cadd9       GThis cowboy's running from himself
