[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 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
