Intro
Gb A# Cb A# x5
Gb A#
So he would sulk and drink and mope
Cb A# Gb
and cross his arms and hope to die.
Gb A# Cb
And then a fairy came one night
A# Gb
to bring this sorry boy to life.
Gb A#
She pulled some strings
Cb
and spun him about.
A#
That boy sprang up
Gb
and began to shout,
Gb A# Cb A# Gb
"My arms, my legs, my heart, my face they're alive!"
Cmaj9
And she would cry, "Liar, liar!
C3mMaj7
What have I done?
FmMaj7 Cmaj9
You're no lover, and I'm no fighter."
Gb
The story goes on
Gb A# Cb
So he would buy her things and kiss her hair
A# Gb
to show he was for real.
Gb A# Cb
And she would take those gifts and kisses
A# Gb
though just stringing him along.
Gb A# Cb
She knew about those wooden boys-
A# Gb
it's an empty love to fill the void.
Gb A# Cb A#
"Pinocchio! Oh boy, how your nose has grown!"
Gb Cmaj9
So he would cry, "Liar, liar!
C3mMaj7
I'll prove it to you!"
FmMaj7
But then it grew
Cmaj9
He had grown tired of her
Gb A# Cb A#
So it was true
Gb A#
He left her apartment
Cb A# Gb
And he walked all night long
Gb A# Cb A# Gb A#
'til he was stopped by the shore of the ocean.
Cb A# Gb Cmaj9
But still he walked on, amongst the whales
Cmaj9
and the waves, and screamed
Cmaj9
"Liar, liar!"
Gb A# Cb
And his wooden body floated away.
A# Gb
He just drifted away.
Gb A# Cb A# Gb
And now I wonder how I was made...
Gb A# Cb A#
my arms, my legs, my heart, my face,
Gb Cmaj9
my name is Driftwood.
