[Intro Chords]
Em7 C G D/F#
Em7 C G D/F#
[Verse 1]
Em7 C
Time is space and I'm out of place
Gadd9 D/F#
Don't recognize a single face
Em7 C
By now I should have won the race
Gadd9 D/F#
But I haven't found a home
Em7 C
Seems to me if you don't catch that vine
Gadd9 D/F#
And swing to the next tree branch in time
Em7 C
The years add up and you fall behind
Gadd9 D/F#
And you're left to walk alone
Em7 C Gadd9 D/F#
So I'm drifting, I'm drifting, I'm drifting
Em7 C Gadd9 D/F#
Yeah, I'm drifting and I'm drifting and I'm drifting
[Chorus]
Em7 C
Meet a stranger, tag along
Gadd9 D/F#
Maybe smoke a cigarette all wrong
Em7 C
Tell a story, sing a song
Gadd9 D/F#
Lay my head where it don't belong
Em7 C
Somehow it occurs to me
Gadd9 D/F#
That out here on the deep blue sea
Em7 C
There are other people drifting too
Gadd9 D/F# Em7 C
Maybe someday baby, I'll drift into you
Gadd9 D/F# Em7 C
Maybe someday baby, I'll drift into you
[Verse 2]
Em7 C
Called my shrink the other day
Gadd9 D/F#
Forgot what I was gonna say
Em7 C
So I lied and said I lost my way
Gadd9 D/F#
'Cus I couldn't let him down
Em7 C
Put my leather jacket on
Gadd9 D/F#
To play the part of bad boy John
Em7 C
The broken-hearted vagabond
Gadd9 D/F#
And wandered into town
Em7 C Gadd9 D/F#
'Cus I'm drifting, yeah, I'm drifting, yeah, I'm drifting
Em7 C Gadd9 D/F#
Yeah, I'm drifting, yeah, I'm drifting, I'm drifting
[Chorus]
Em7 C
Meet a stranger, tag along
Gadd9 D/F#
Maybe smoke a cigarette all wrong
Em7 C
Tell a story, sing a song
Gadd9 D/F#
Lay my head where it don't belong
Em7 C
Somehow it occurs to me
Gadd9 D/F#
That out here on the deep blue sea
Em7 C
There are other people drifting too
Gadd9 D/F# Em7 C
Maybe someday baby, I'll drift into you
Gadd9 D/F#
Maybe someday baby, I'll drift into you
[Bridge]
Em7 C
For the moment till the moment is gone
Gadd9 D/F#
Lonesome is the road I've been travellin' on
Em7 C
I go where I want and I don't miss anyone
Gadd9 D/F#
'Cause I'm drifting
Em7 C
Tryna write a story but I'm stuck on a page
Gadd9 D/F#
God, it's been so long, can't remember my age
Em7 C
I'm lost till the minute that I step on the stage
Gadd9 D/F#
'Cus I'm drifting
Em7 C Gadd9 D/F#
And I'm drifting
[Chorus]
Em7 C
Meet a stranger, tag along
Gadd9 D/F#
Maybe smoke a cigarette all wrong
Em7 C
Tell a story, sing a song
Gadd9 D/F#
Lay my head where it don't belong
Em7 C
Somehow it occurs to me
Gadd9 D/F#
That out here on the deep blue sea
Em7 C
There are other people drifting too
Gadd9 D/F# Em7 C
Maybe someday baby, I'll drift into you
Gadd9 D/F# Em7 C
Maybe someday baby, I'll drift into you
Gadd9 D/F#
Maybe someday baby, I'll drift into you
