Tone: [Am]
Intro:
[Am] [C] [Fmaj7] [Fmaj7]
Chorus:
[Am]Drifting
[C] Watchin' the world go [Fmaj7]round
[Fmaj7]World go, yeah -World go round-
[Am]Listening
To [C]unfamiliar feelings and un[Fmaj7]unknown sounds
[Fmaj7]Unknown sounds, unknown sounds
Verse 1:
[Am]Slippin' through my fingertips -Ayy-, lingerin'
[C] Shoulda, woulda, coulda, where'd I put the pen? -Woah-
[Fmaj7] Make a list of all my failed attempts
Runnin' out of space again
Highlight all the things I wish I never said -[Am]-Stop-
If feeling makes you stronger, I'm the weakest
That would [C]mean I would have to separate from my beliefs
It's not a [Fmaj7]secret, I'm a puzzle, got a lot of missin' pieces
Under[Fmaj7]Underneath this strong persona I put on's a kid that's screamin'
Aren't these [Am]waters so deceivin'? -So dеceivin'-
They look differеnt, don't they?
[C]Well, at least that's how they seem to me
'Cause we just drift and [Fmaj7]drift and drift
Until we see something that we define as peaceful
Grab the needle, shoot reminders in my veins
That people leave you while I'm [Am]driftin'
Chorus:
[C] Watchin' the world go [Fmaj7]round
[Fmaj7]World go, yeah -World go round-
[Am]Listening
To [C]unfamiliar feelings and un[Fmaj7]unknown sounds
[Fmaj7]Unknown sounds, unknown sounds
Verse 2:
[Am]Lots of gossip, I've been watchin' you
[C]How you're talkin' to yourself is rude
[Fmaj7]Driftin' I'm in the same boat as you
[Fmaj7]Sinkin', dreamin', screamin' for some truth
And -[Am]-My, my- escalator's broke, I'll take the stairs, I guess
[C]Climb until I'm outta breath
Questioning my every step -[Fmaj7]-Woah-
My train of thought is leading me to different tracks
[Fmaj7]Positive that where I'm at is not where I should [E]stay and that's -[Am]-Why-
Told you look into the mirror and say, "I love you"
Con[C]Convince yourself that no one in the world would ever want to
[Fmaj7]Passin' by the people that have been there to support you
From the [Fmaj7]get-go, disrespectful, drive you mental
Might get stressful when I'm [Am]driftin'
I see you in the distance
Askin' [C]me why I'm so distant, I'm convicted
I'm convinced that I pre[Fmaj7]predict that all
my wishes on my wish list won't be heard
'Cause I'm com[Fmaj7]committed to the lie that feeling safe is unrealistic
When I'm [Am]driftin'
Chorus:
[C] Watchin' the world go [Fmaj7]round
[Fmaj7]World go, yeah -World go round-
[Am]Listening
To [C]unfamiliar feelings and un[Fmaj7]unknown sounds
[Fmaj7]Unknown sounds, unknown sounds
Interlude:
[Am] [C] [Fmaj7] [Fmaj7]
Outro:
[Am] Ignorant to my ignorance
Tell me I'm worth it, God
[C]Give me the faith to rise and help me diversify
To take a step forward, i[Fmaj7]immersed in my belligerence, amplified
The feelings and words collide
In[Fmaj7]Intensified by living a life deprived
I'd rather be burned alive
Than [Am]go back to thinkin' I'm insignificant -Insignificant-
Every impotent [C]moment debated can trigger it
God is my witness definitive
Holdin' my head up, there [Fmaj7]isn't an innocent bone in my body
But that's what gives me the energy lacked
To [Fmaj7]renovate, have to innovate, past intimidates
-nc-
Can't remain afraid
