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