Driftwood A Fairy Tale

Intro: Bb D Eb D (5x) 

Bb                  D     
So he would sulk and drink and mope 
   Eb              D           Bb 
and cross his arms and hope to die. 
Bb              D            Eb    
And then a fairy came one night 
              D         Bb 
to bring this sorry boy to life. 
Bb               D 
She pulled some strings 
     Eb 
and spun him about. 
     D 
That boy sprang up 
     Bb 
and began to shout, 
    Bb        D       Eb           D        Bb                        
"My arms, my legs, my heart, my face they're alive!" 
  Emaj9 
And she would cry, "Liar, liar! 
     C 
What have I done? 
   Fmmaj7             Emaj9 
You're no lover, and I'm no fighter." 
  
    Bb 
The story goes on 


  Bb                D                Eb 
So he would buy her things and kiss her hair 
 D               Bb 
to show he was for real. 
    Bb             D               Eb 
And she would take those gifts and kisses 
       D              Bb 
though just stringing him along. 
   Bb         D            Eb 
She knew about those wooden boys- 
   D                   Bb                        
it's an empty love to fill the void. 
     Bb        D       Eb        D       
"Pinocchio! Oh boy, how your nose has grown!" 
Bb              Emaj9    
So he would cry, "Liar, liar! 
     C 
I'll prove it to you!" 
     Fmmaj7     
But then it grew 
     Emaj9 
He had grown tired of her 

 Bb             D   Eb D  
So it was true  
 Bb           D   
He left her apartment 
Eb             D       Bb     
And he walked all night long 
Bb       D         Eb             D        Bb    D 
'til he was stopped by the shore of the ocean. 
 Eb      D          Bb       Emaj9 
But still he walked on, amongst the whales 
         Emaj9 
and the waves, and screamed 
     Emaj9 
"Liar, liar!" 
     Bb             D         Eb    
And his wooden body floated away. 
      D        Bb 
He just drifted away. 

Bb           D           Eb      D      Bb 
And now I wonder how I was made... 
Bb          D        Eb       D       
my arms, my legs, my heart, my face, 
  Bb           Emaj9 
my name is Driftwood.
