Ab9                                     Bb
I didn't know that you'd be leavin'
Ab9                                                      Bb
Or who you thought you were talkin' to.
Ab9                                 Bb
I figure maybe we're even
Ab9                                    Bb
Or maybe I'm one up on you.

Eb                            Bb
I send you all my money
Eb                     Bb
Just like I did before.
Eb                             Ab
I tried to reach you honey,
                                                   Bb
But you're driftin' too far from shore.

        Bb
        Driftin' too far from shore
        Driftin' too far from shore
        Driftin' too far from shore
        Driftin' too far from shore.


I ain't gonna get lost in this current,
I don't like playing cat and mouse.
No gentleman likes making love to a servant.
Especially when he's in his father's house.

I never could guess your weight, baby,
Never needed to call you my whore.
I always thought you were straight, baby,
But you're driftin' too far from shore.

        Driftin' too far from shore
        Driftin' too far from shore
        Driftin' too far from shore
        Driftin' too far from shore.

(Instrumental verse and chorus)

Well these times and these tunnels are haunted,
The bottom of the barrel is too.
I waited years sometimes for what I wanted.
Everybody can't be as lucky as you.

Never no more do I wonder,
Why you don't never play with me any more.
At any moment you could go under,
'Cause you're driftin' too far from shore.

        Driftin' too far from shore
        Driftin' too far from shore
        Driftin' too far from shore
        Driftin' too far from shore.

You and me we had completeness,
I give you all of what I could provide
We weren't on the wrong side, sweetness,
We were the wrong side.

I've already ripped out the phones, honey.
You can't walk the streets in a war.
I can finish this alone, honey,
You're driftin' too far from shore.
