Eb G
So he would sulk and drink and mope
Ab G Eb
and cross his arms and hope to die.
Eb G Ab
And then a fairy came one night
G Eb
to bring this sorry boy to life.
Eb G
She pulled some strings
Ab
and spun him about.
G
That boy sprang up
Eb
and began to shout,
Eb G Ab G Eb
"My arms, my legs, my heart, my face they're alive!"
Amaj9
And she would cry, "Liar, liar!
C3mMaj7
What have I done?
FmMaj7 Amaj9
You're no lover, and I'm no fighter."
Eb
The story goes on
Eb G Ab
So he would buy her things and kiss her hair
G Eb
to show he was for real.
Eb G Ab
And she would take those gifts and kisses
G Eb
though just stringing him along.
Eb G Ab
She knew about those wooden boys-
G Eb
it's an empty love to fill the void.
Eb G Ab G
"Pinocchio! Oh boy, how your nose has grown!"
Eb Amaj9
So he would cry, "Liar, liar!
C3mMaj7
I'll prove it to you!"
FmMaj7
But then it grew
Amaj9
He had grown tired of her
Eb G Ab G
So it was true
Eb G
He left her apartment
Ab G Eb
And he walked all night long
Eb G Ab G Eb G
'til he was stopped by the shore of the ocean.
Ab G Eb Amaj9
But still he walked on, amongst the whales

and the waves, and screamed
Amaj9
"Liar, liar!"
Eb G Ab
And his wooden body floated away.
G Eb
He just drifted away.
Eb G Ab G Eb
And now I wonder how I was made...
Eb G Ab G
my arms, my legs, my heart, my face,
Eb Amaj9
my name is Driftwood.
