Capo: 2nd fret

[Intro]
 
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 go 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 heart and 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've gone where I wanted 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 I 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
              Time and space, little out of place
Don’t recognize a single face
By now I shoulda won the race
But I haven’t found a home

Seems to me if you don’t catch that vine
And swing to the next tree branch in time
The years add up and you fall behind
And you’re left to walk alone

So, I’m driftin, driftin, and I’m driftin
And I’m driftin, and I’m driftin, and I’m driftin
Meet a stranger, tag along
Maybe smoke a cigarette all wrong
Tell the story, sing a song
Lay my head where it don’t belong
And some how it occurs to me, that out here on the deep blue sea
There are other people driftin too
Maybe someday, baby I’ll drift into you
Maybe someday, baby I’ll drift into you

Called my shrink the other day
Forgot what I was gonna say
So I lied and said I lost my way
Cause I couldn’t let him down

Put my leather jacket on
To play the part of bad boy John
The broken-hearted vagabond
Had wandered into town

Cause I’m driftin, I’m driftin, and I’m driftin
Yeah I’m driftin, and driftin, and driftin
Meet a stranger, tag along
Maybe smoke a cigarette all wrong
Tell the story, sing a song
Lay my head where it don’t belong
And some how it occurs to me, that out here on the deep blue sea
There are other people driftin too
Maybe someday, baby I’ll drift into you
Maybe someday, baby I’ll drift into you

Wait for a moment ‘til the moment is gone
Lonesome is the road I’ve been travelin on
I go where I want and I won’t miss anyone
Cause I’m driftin
I’m tryin to write a story but I’m stuck on the page
God it’s been so long can’t remember my age
I’m lost til the moment that I step on the stage

Cause I’m driftin
And I’m driftin
Meet a stranger, tag along
Maybe smoke a cigarette all wrong
Tell the story, sing a song
Lay my head where it don’t belong
And some how it occurs to me, that out here on the deep blue sea
There are other people driftin too
Maybe someday, baby I’ll drift into you
Maybe someday, baby I’ll drift into you
Maybe someday, baby I’ll drift into you
