Vance Joy (born James Keogh in Melbourne) is an Australian singer-songwriter. His debut album God Loves You When You're Dancing was released in March 2013. The single "Riptide" became a success on Australian commercial radio and was certified Platinum by the Australian Record Industry Association (ARIA).
Feeding on a diet of The Pogues, Paul Kelly, and whatever else was playing, Joy cut his teeth performing at open mic nights in Melbourne. His style is folk music with pop influences.

[Verse 1] C Time to let it go Em It won't let go of me G Hanging by a thread D Cutting the cord and then falling back into the C Black 'cause if I don't Em If I wait 'til it feels right G I'll be waiting my whole life D Closing my eyes remember how we were like
[Chorus] C Gold when you see me Em Hi if you need me GD Babe that's the way it was That's the history CEm Blue how we used to roar G Like an open fire D That's the way it was But that's history
[Post-Chorus]
C O-o-o-o-o-o Em O-o-o-o-o GD That's the way it was But that's history C O-o-o-o-o-o Em O-o-o-o-o GD That's the way it was But that's history
[Verse 2] C I have a memory Em You're visiting me at night G Climbing in my bed D You were so quiet that you never woke me C I love the way you could Em See the good in everything G But do we fuel the fire D Closing my eyes remember how we were like
[Chorus] C Gold when you see me Em Hi if you need me GD Babe that's the way it was That's the history CEm Blue how we used to roar G Like an open fire D That's the way it was But that's history
[Verse 3] C Started with a word Em Now look at where we are G Everything we've done D It's there on our faces for anyone willing to C Read between the lines Em Now look at where we are G Everything we've done D It's there on our faces for anyone willing to
[Chorus] C O-o-o-o-o-o Em O-o-o-o-o GD That's the way it was But that's history C O-o-o-o-o-o Em O-o-o-o-o GD That's the way it was But that's history
[Bridge] C Well I got a feeling DG Darling it's possible C Cause love's got no ceiling DG Now that it's just so strong C And I got a feeling DG Like everything is possible CD I'm trying to change C M-m-m-m-m
[Chorus] C Gold when you see me Em Hi if you need me GD Babe that's the way it was That's the history CEm Blue how we used to roar G Like an open fire D That's the way it was But that's history
[Verse 3] C Started with a word Em Now look at where we are G Everything we've done D It's there on our faces for anyone willing to C Read between the lines Em Now look at where we are G Everything we've done D Started out with just one
[Chorus] C O-o-o-o-o-o Em O-o-o-o-o G O-o-o-o-o D O-o-o-o C O-o-o-o-o-o Em O-o-o-o-o G O-o-o-o-o D O-o-o-o
[Outro] (Strum once) C Gold when you see me Em Hi if you need me GD Babe that's the way it was But that's history
