Intro
C E F E x5
C E
So he would sulk and drink and mope
F E C
and cross his arms and hope to die.
C E F
And then a fairy came one night
E C
to bring this sorry boy to life.
C E
She pulled some strings
F
and spun him about.
E
That boy sprang up
C
and began to shout,
C E F E C
"My arms, my legs, my heart, my face they're alive!"
F#maj9
And she would cry, "Liar, liar!
C3mMaj7
What have I done?
FmMaj7 F#maj9
You're no lover, and I'm no fighter."
C
The story goes on
C E F
So he would buy her things and kiss her hair
E C
to show he was for real.
C E F
And she would take those gifts and kisses
E C
though just stringing him along.
C E F
She knew about those wooden boys-
E C
it's an empty love to fill the void.
C E F E
"Pinocchio! Oh boy, how your nose has grown!"
C F#maj9
So he would cry, "Liar, liar!
C3mMaj7
I'll prove it to you!"
FmMaj7
But then it grew
F#maj9
He had grown tired of her
C E F E
So it was true
C E
He left her apartment
F E C
And he walked all night long
C E F E C E
'til he was stopped by the shore of the ocean.
F E C F#maj9
But still he walked on, amongst the whales
F#maj9
and the waves, and screamed
F#maj9
"Liar, liar!"
C E F
And his wooden body floated away.
E C
He just drifted away.
C E F E C
And now I wonder how I was made...
C E F E
my arms, my legs, my heart, my face,
C F#maj9
my name is Driftwood.
