Green Light, The Ballad of Jay Gatsby

To the music and lyrics of Riptide by Vance Joy

Mine wasn’t a story of much luck;
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations.
(Oh) All my new wealth ain’t what it seems.
You’re the most elusive treasure of my dreams.

Oh, and I’ve come unstuck.

Daisy, reaching out to the Green Light;
Taken away to the dark side.
You’ve gone and got your rich husband.
I love you. Your voice sings like a song and
I got a gap in my heart ’cause
it end-ed up all wrong.

There’s this new guy that I think you’ll like.
This guy has ties (to the mob) and rules o’er New York City.
This farm boy’s running from himself
while she’s been living on the highest shelf.

Oh, and I’ve come unstuck.

Daisy, reaching out to the Green Light;
Taken away to the dark side.
I’ve become your ‘better’ man.
I love you. Your voice sings like a song and
I got a gap in my heart ’cause
you left me and married Tom.
I just wanna, I just wanna know,
if you’re gonna, if you’re gonna stay.
I just gotta, I just gotta know.
I can’t have it, I can’t have it any other way.
I swear you’re destined for my Queen.
Closest thing to royalty that I’ve ever seen,

Oh Daisy, reaching out to the Green Light;
Taken away to the dark side.
I wanna be your only man.
I love you. Your voice sings like a song and
I got a gap in my heart ’cause
it turned out all wrong.
Oh Daisy, reaching out to the Green Light;
Taken away to the dark side.
You’ve gone and got your rich husband.
I love you. Your voice sings like a song and
I got a gap in my heart ’cause
you’re not meant to end up with Tom.

Oh Daisy, reaching out to the Green Light;
Taken away to the dark side.
I wanna be your only man.
I love you. Your voice sings like a song and
I got a gap in my heart ’cause
it ended up all wrong.
Yeah, I got a gap in my heart ’cause it ended up all wrong.
