Intro
A# D Eb D x5
A# D
So he would sulk and drink and mope
Eb D A#
and cross his arms and hope to die.
A# D Eb
And then a fairy came one night
D A#
to bring this sorry boy to life.
A# D
She pulled some strings
Eb
and spun him about.
D
That boy sprang up
A#
and began to shout,
A# D Eb D A#
"My arms, my legs, my heart, my face they're alive!"
Emaj9
And she would cry, "Liar, liar!
C3mMaj7
What have I done?
FmMaj7 Emaj9
You're no lover, and I'm no fighter."
A#
The story goes on
A# D Eb
So he would buy her things and kiss her hair
D A#
to show he was for real.
A# D Eb
And she would take those gifts and kisses
D A#
though just stringing him along.
A# D Eb
She knew about those wooden boys-
D A#
it's an empty love to fill the void.
A# D Eb D
"Pinocchio! Oh boy, how your nose has grown!"
A# Emaj9
So he would cry, "Liar, liar!
C3mMaj7
I'll prove it to you!"
FmMaj7
But then it grew
Emaj9
He had grown tired of her
A# D Eb D
So it was true
A# D
He left her apartment
Eb D A#
And he walked all night long
A# D Eb D A# D
'til he was stopped by the shore of the ocean.
Eb D A# Emaj9
But still he walked on, amongst the whales
Emaj9
and the waves, and screamed
Emaj9
"Liar, liar!"
A# D Eb
And his wooden body floated away.
D A#
He just drifted away.
A# D Eb D A#
And now I wonder how I was made...
A# D Eb D
my arms, my legs, my heart, my face,
A# Emaj9
my name is Driftwood.
