Chords

Arpeggio strum [Verse 1]
D
Well, i'm the drifter

D
I walk the highways

  G
I cross the river

     D
That rolls on forgotten

D
I sing for the living

D
Live for the trying

    G
But what's it about

       D
If you got to be trying alone
[Verse 2]
D
And i'm the dreamer

D
Who climbed the mountain

    G
Who saw forever

D
Across the ocean

D
But you found me waiting

D
And knew that i would

   G
Be lost forever

A         D
I kept on trying alone
[Chorus]
D
They call me the drifter

D
And i walk the highways

  G
I crossed every river

     A
That rolled on forgotten

    D
I'd sing for the living

D
But inside was dying

       G
'Cause what's it about

       A                D
If you got to be trying alone
[Verse 3]
D
Well, i'm the drifter

D
Who solved the answer

    G
And when i found you

  D
I knew for ever

D
Would be for ever

D
And not for some time

G
  And you'd be mine

D                A      D
Won't have to be trying alone
[Chorus]
D
Now i sing like a dreamer

D
And i walk like i'm flying

  G
I looked in your eyes

          A
There was no use denying

    D
You cared for that moment

D
And i knew the answer

  G
I came for a while

      A                         D
And i stayed for the rest of my life
[Bridge]
  G
I came for a while

      A                         D
And i stayed for the rest of my life

  G
I came for a while

      A                         D
And i stayed for the rest of my life
[Outro]
D
Well, i was the drifter

D
And i walked the highways

  G
I crossed every river

     D              A
That rolled on forgotten

  D
I sang for the living

D
And lived for the trying

  G          Em
I came for a while

      A                      D
And i stayed for the rest of my life
