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!"
E9M
And she would cry, "Liar, liar!
C
What have I done?
Fm7M E9M
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 E9M
So he would cry, "Liar, liar!
C
I'll prove it to you!"
Fm7M
But then it grew
E9M
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 E9M
But still he walked on, amongst the whales
E9M
and the waves, and screamed
E9M
"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 E9M
my name is Driftwood.
