F A A# A x5
F A
So he would sulk and drink and mope
A# A F
and cross his arms and hope to die.
F A A#
And then a fairy came one night
A F
to bring this sorry boy to life.
F A
She pulled some strings
A#
and spun him about.
A
That boy sprang up
F
and began to shout,
F A A# A F
"My arms, my legs, my heart, my face they're alive!"
Bmaj9
And she would cry, "Liar, liar!
C3mMaj7
What have I done?
FmMaj7 Bmaj9
You're no lover, and I'm no fighter."
F
The story goes on
F A A#
So he would buy her things and kiss her hair
A F
to show he was for real.
F A A#
And she would take those gifts and kisses
A F
though just stringing him along.
F A A#
She knew about those wooden boys-
A F
it's an empty love to fill the void.
F A A# A
"Pinocchio! Oh boy, how your nose has grown!"
F Bmaj9
So he would cry, "Liar, liar!
C3mMaj7
I'll prove it to you!"
FmMaj7
But then it grew
Bmaj9
He had grown tired of her
F A A# A
So it was true
F A
He left her apartment
A# A F
And he walked all night long
F A A# A F A
'til he was stopped by the shore of the ocean.
A# A F Bmaj9
But still he walked on, amongst the whales
Bmaj9
and the waves, and screamed
Bmaj9
"Liar, liar!"
F A A#
And his wooden body floated away.
A F
He just drifted away.
F A A# A F
And now I wonder how I was made...
F A A# A
my arms, my legs, my heart, my face,
F Bmaj9
my name is Driftwood.
