Drifted Apart

Tift Merritt


Tom: G

INTRO: G

You are child when love is born
                       Am     C
Can't stay a child for long
                         Dm         C
Maybe the good times are up ahead
            D7        G      C
Maybe those times are gone


                    D7
Same things keeping us together
        G                   C
Are the very ones making it hard
                  D         C
Better take a look around
            D         G 
Baby, we're drifting apart


CHORUS:
          Am         D
Drifting apart, drifting
            Am         D
Drifting so slow, drifting
            G               Em
I watch you go, I watch you go
                        C     D
Don't pretend you don't know


G
Day by day, slowly you change
                      Am    C
Growing into what you are
               Dm          C
Nobody sees it happening
               D7        G      C
It's easy like opening a door


                    D7
Same things keeping us together
  G                          C
Begin to make a wreck of our hearts
          D               C
No use to shout about it
            D        G 
Baby, we've drifted apart


CHORUS:
          Am         D
Drifting apart, drifting
            Am         D
Drifting so slow, drifting
            G               Em
I watch you go, I watch you go
                        C     D
Don't pretend you don't know


INSTRUMENTAL: G     Am  C  Dm  C  D7  G



The quiet settling of the night
                   Am     C
It always comes to this
                  Dm                C
You answer to yourself in the dark
             D7       G      C
That's where everyone lives


                    D7
Same things keeping us together
        G                        C
Are the problems we had from the start
                    D             
Staying beside each other, lonesome
G                      C
Feels like the hardest part


                    D7
Same things keeping us to together
        G                       C
Are the very ones that tear us apart
         D              C
Nobody's fault at all
            D         G 
Baby, we're drifting apart


CHORUS:
          Am         D
Drifting apart, drifting
            Am         D
Drifting so slow, drifting
            G               Em
I watch you go, I watch you go
                        C     D
Don't pretend you don't know


CHORUS:
          Am         D
Drifting apart, drifting
            Am         D
Drifting so slow, drifting
            G               Em
I watch you go, I watch you go
                        C     D
Don't pretend you don't know___
                G
We're drifting apart
