John Mayer - Driftin (Live)

Capo: 2nd fret

[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 go 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 heart and 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’ve gone where I wanted 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 I 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
