Drift Away

[G] Here in the garden
[G7] Let's play a game
[C] I'll show you how it's [Cm]done
[G] Here in the garden
[G7] Stand very still
[C] This'll be so much [Cm] fun
[Em] And then she smiled,
[B7] that's what I'm after
A [G] smile in her
eyes, the [A7] sound of her laughter
[G] Happy to listen
[G7] Happy to play
[C] Happily watching her [Cm]drift [D] [G] away
[G] Happily waiting
[G7] All on my own
[C] Under the endless [Cm] sky
[G] Counting the seconds, [G7] standing alone
As [C] thousands of years go [Cm] by
[Em] Happily wondering, [B7] night after night
Is [G] this how it works?
Am I [A7] doing it right?
[G] Happy to listen
[G7] Happy to stay
[C] Happily watching her [Cm] drift [D] [G] away
You [F] keep on turning [C] pages,
for [G] people who don't care
[Dm] People who don't care [C] about you [Am]
And [F] still it takes you [C] ages
To [G] see that no one's there
[Dm] See that no one's there
[C] See that no one's there
[Am] Everyone's gone on [F] without you
[G] Finally something
[G7] Finally news
[C] About how the story [Cm] ends
[G] She doesn't exist now
[G7] Survived by her son
[C] And all of her brand new [Cm] friends
[Em] Isn't that lovely?
[B7] Isn't that cool?
[G] And isn't that cruel?
And [A7] aren't I a fool to have
[G] Happily listened
[G7] Happy to stay
[C] Happily watching her [Cm] drift [D]
[Cm] Drift [D]
[Cm] Drift [D] away [G]
