Driftwood A Fairy Tale

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          
"My arms, my legs, my heart, my 
 D        Bb
face they're alive!"
  Emaj9
And she would cry, "Liar, liar!
     C3mMaj7
What have I done?
   FmMaj7             Emaj9
You're no lover, and I'm no 
fighter."

    Bb

  Bb                D             
So he would buy her things and 
   Eb
kiss her hair
 D               Bb
to show he was for real.
    Bb             D               
And she would take those gifts and 
Eb
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        
"Pinocchio! Oh boy, how your nose 
D
has grown!"
Bb              Emaj9
So he would cry, "Liar, liar!
     C3mMaj7
I'll prove it to you!"
     FmMaj7
But then it grew
     Emaj9
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            
'til he was stopped by the shore 
 D        Bb    D
of the ocean.
 Eb      D          Bb       
But still he walked on, amongst the 
Emaj9
whales
         Emaj9
and the waves, and screamed
     Emaj9
"Liar, liar!"
     Bb             D         Eb
And his wooden body floated away.
      D        Bb
He just drifted away.

Bb           D           Eb      
And now I wonder how I was 
D      Bb
made...
Bb          D        Eb       D
my arms, my legs, my heart, my face,
  Bb           Emaj9
my name is Driftwood.
