Em C G D/F#
Em C G D/F#

[Verse 1]

Em                      C
  Time is space and

 I'm out of place
G                     D/F#
  Don't recognize a single face
Em                     C
  By now I should have won
the race
      G
But I haven't found
         D/F#
 a home

Em
  Seems to me if you go
 C
 catch that vine
G
  And swing to the next
      D/F#
 tree branch in time
Em
   The years add up and
     C
you fall behind
           G
And you're left to
                D/F#
 walk alone

          Em
So I'm drifting I'm
     C              G   D/F#
drifting I'm drifting
          Em
Yeah I'm drifting and
         C
I'm drifting and I'm
       G          D/F#
drifting

[Chorus]

       Em              C
Meet a stranger, tag along
      G                      D/F#
Maybe smoke a cigarette all wrong
       Em             C
Tell a story, sing a song
        G                  D/F#
Lay my head where it don't belong

Em           C
Somehow it occurs to me
     G                D/F#
That out here on the deep blue sea
          Em            C
There are other people drifting too
      G             D/F#
Maybe someday baby I'll
               Em   C
drift into you
      G             D/F#
Maybe someday baby I'll
drift into you

[Verse 2]
Em                    C
  Called my shrink the other day
G                   D/F#
  Forgot what I was gonna say
     Em              C
So I lied and said I lost my way
       G                      D/F#
'Cus I couldn't let him down

Em               C
  Put my leather jacket on
G                     D/F#
  To play the part of bad boy John
Em                     C
  The broken heart and vagabond
    G                    D/F#
And wandered into town
         Em
'Cus I'm drifting yeah
         C
 I'm drifting yeah I'm
     G          D/F#
drifting
         Em
Yeah I'm drifting yeah I'm
     C
drifting I'm drifting
 G          D/F#
