Driftin

Intro

Em7 C G D/F#
Em7 C G D/F#

Verse 1

Em7                     C
  Time is space and I'm out of place
Gadd9                 D/F#
  Don't recognize a single face
Em7                    C
  By now I should have won the race
      Gadd9                 D/F#
But I haven't found a home

Em7                     C
  Seems to me if you go catch that vine
Gadd9                        D/F#
  And swing to the next tree branch in time
Em7                         C
   The years add up and you fall behind
           Gadd9                  D/F#
And you're left to walk alone

          Em7           C              Gadd9     D/F#
So I'm drifting I'm drifting I'm drifting
          Em7                 C                 Gadd9      D/F#
Yeah I'm drifting and I'm drifting and I'm drifting

Chorus

       Em7             C
Meet a stranger, tag along
      Gadd9                  D/F#
Maybe smoke a cigarette all wrong
       Em7            C
Tell a story, sing a song
        Gadd9              D/F#
Lay my head where it don't belong

Em7          C
Somehow it occurs to me
     Gadd9            D/F#
That out here on the deep blue sea
          Em7           C
There are other people drifting too
      Gadd9         D/F#               Em7  C
Maybe someday baby I'll drift into you
      Gadd9         D/F#               Em7  C
Maybe someday baby I'll drift into you

Verse 2

Em7                   C
  Called my shrink the other day
Gadd9               D/F#
  Forgot what I was gonna say
     Em7             C
So I lied and said I lost my way
       Gadd9                  D/F#
'Cus I couldn't let him down

Em7              C
  Put my leather jacket on
Gadd9                 D/F#
  To play the part of bad boy John
Em7                    C
  The broken heart and vagabond
    Gadd9                D/F#
And wandered into town
         Em7                   C                 Gadd9      D/F#
'Cus I'm drifting yeah I'm drifting yeah I'm drifting
         Em7                   C                 Gadd9      D/F#
Yeah I'm drifting yeah I'm drifting I'm drifting

Chorus

       Em7             C
Meet a stranger, tag along
      Gadd9                  D/F#
Maybe smoke a cigarette all wrong
       Em7            C
Tell a story, sing a song
        Gadd9              D/F#
Lay my head where it don't belong

Em7          C
Somehow it occurs to me
     Gadd9            D/F#
That out here on the deep blue sea
          Em7           C
There are other people drifting too
      Gadd9          D/F#              Em7  C
Maybe someday baby I'll drift into you
      Gadd9          D/F#
Maybe someday baby I'll drift into you

Bridge
Em7                      C
For the moment 'till the moment is gone
Gadd9                          D/F#
Lonesome is the road I've been travellin on
     Em7                         C
I've gone where I wanted I don't miss anyone
             Gadd9                 D/F#
'Cause I'm drifting
Em7                         C
Tryna write a story but I'm stuck on a page
Gadd9                         D/F#
God it's been so long I can't remember my age
    Em7                          C
I'm lost till the minute that I step on the stage
           Gadd9                D/F#
'Cus I'm drifting
           Em7          C            Gadd9      D/F#
And I'm drifting

Chorus

       Em7             C
Meet a stranger, tag along
      Gadd9                  D/F#
Maybe smoke a cigarette all wrong
       Em7            C
Tell a story, sing a song
        Gadd9              D/F#
Lay my head where it don't belong

Em7          C
Somehow it occurs to me
     Gadd9            D/F#
That out here on the deep blue sea
          Em7           C
There are other people drifting too
      Gadd9          D/F#              Em7  C
Maybe someday baby I'll drift into you
      Gadd9          D/F#              Em7  C
Maybe someday baby I'll drift into you
      Gadd9          D/F#            
Maybe someday baby I'll drift into you
