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