Drift

Intro: C D G C D G

Verse 1:
C        D    G
  North Carolina girl.
C              D      G
  She blows in on the ocean breeze.
C          D        Em
  All salt air and cigarettes.
            Am     G D
Freckled and free.
C         D    G
  She dances along the beach.
C                 D       G
  Drinking deep from her Jameson.
C       D      Em
  Deceptively delicate,
                F   D
Strange as the sea.

Chorus:
                       C
We stroll through the sand.
       D         G
Right where the sea meets land,
     C          D         G
The waves roll in as the currents 
shift.
    Am       Em   C             
And I think maybe I should let go 
D
and drift.

Verse 2:
C      D      G
  I’m just a city boy.
C         D       G
  All neurotic anxieties.
C            D       Em
  The world and its gravity
          Am      G D
Pulling me down.
C             D      G
  But caught in her undertow,
C            D      G
  Falling under so soft and slow,
C              D    Em
  I sink deep into nothingness,
           F    D
Happy to drown.

Chorus:
                C
We sit in the sand,
D            G
Staring up hand in hand.
      C          D              G
The stars float by and the currents 
shift.
    Am       Em   C           D
And I think maybe I could let go and
 drift.

Bridge:
F            G   C
  This carefree girl
     D         G
Is drawing me in like the moon
           F
With her smile so wide.
   F           G      C
So I think “What the hell?”
               Am                  
Might as well dive in and roll with
      D
 the tide.

Chorus:
                   C
The sun starts to rise.
  D       G
I look into her eyes.
     C         D            G
And deep inside me the currents 
shift.
    Am       Em     C            
For one time in my life I let go 
      D
and drift.
                C
We kiss in the sand,
D            G
Perfect and so unplanned.
     C       D              G
And deep inside me the currents 
shift.
    Am       Em     C
For one time in my life
       D      C        D G
I let go and    drift.
C     D      G
        Just drift.
