So he would sulk and drink and mope
Db C Ab
and cross his arms and hope to die.
Ab C Db
And then a fairy came one night
C Ab
to bring this sorry boy to life.
Ab C
She pulled some strings
Db
and spun him about.

That boy sprang up

and began to shout,
Ab C Db C Ab
"My arms, my legs, my heart, my face they're alive!"

And she would cry, "Liar, liar!
C3mMaj7
What have I done?
FmMaj7 Dmaj9
You're no lover, and I'm no fighter."
Ab
The story goes on
Ab C Db
So he would buy her things and kiss her hair
C Ab
to show he was for real.
Ab C Db
And she would take those gifts and kisses
C Ab
though just stringing him along.
Ab C Db
She knew about those wooden boys-
C Ab
it's an empty love to fill the void.
Ab C Db C
"Pinocchio! Oh boy, how your nose has grown!"

So he would cry, "Liar, liar!

I'll prove it to you!"

But then it grew

He had grown tired of her
Ab C Db C
So it was true

He left her apartment
Db C Ab
And he walked all night long
Ab C Db C Ab C
'til he was stopped by the shore of the ocean.
Db C Ab Dmaj9
But still he walked on, amongst the whales

and the waves, and screamed

"Liar, liar!"
Ab C Db
And his wooden body floated away.
C Ab
He just drifted away.
Ab C Db C Ab
And now I wonder how I was made...
Ab C Db C
my arms, my legs, my heart, my face,
Ab Dmaj9
my name is Driftwood.
