Verse 1:
G+G       G7G7        D7D7
There could be countless reasons Tension rules this house
C majorC             G+G
That it does goes without saying or doubt
E MajorE                   A minorAm
You of course claim it's a force that rules from stars far away, I say,
G+G      D7D7     G+G     D7D7
Could be the communists Maybe the RCMP
G+G      D MajorD        G+G
More likely you and me, just drifting away


Verse 2:
G+G        G7G7     D7D7
I offered small resistance that's a doorway made of glass
C majorC             G+G
Patiently waiting for that stone to be cast
E MajorE           A minorAm
Though my inaction attracted scorn that morning's quiet fuming
G+G    D7D7     G+G        D7D7
I never talk to you You don't like being ignored
G+G        D MajorD         G+G
My thoughts are out that door and drifting away

Chorus:
E MajorE           A minorAm
No I'm not mocking or talking to amuse myself
G+G       D7D7
You've got my number down
G+G       D7D7
You know every one of my names
G+G      D MajorD         G+G
I think it's plain to see we've drifted away

Verse 3:
 G+G        G7G7        D7D7
You could be the Queen of England and still it'd be the same
C majorC             G+G
Calling it quits can go by so many names
E MajorE          A minorAm
Needing a breather Relief A augmentedA place Some space to call your own
G+G       D7D7     G+G      D7D7
I've heard 'em all before I know every one of those lines
G+G        D MajorD            G+G
So why don't you take what's yours? I'll take what's mine.

Chorus:
E MajorE             A minorAm
and no I'm not mocking or talking to amuse myself
G+G       D7D7
You've got my number down
G+G       D7D7
You know every one of my names
G+G      D MajorD         G+G
I think it's plain to see we've drifted away
