Vance Joy - Riptide Chords

The document is song lyrics that tell a story of being in love with a woman and wanting to support her. The singer is afraid of social situations but finds courage through his love for her. He wants to be by her side and support her like a "left hand man." The chorus describes the woman "running down to the riptide" and being "taken away to the dark side," while the singer wants to support her and loves hearing her sing, though it gives him a "lump in his throat" because she might sing the words wrong. The song repeats this theme over multiple verses and choruses.
