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