Drifting Away chords by Doug And The Slugs

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
G              G7                D7
There could be countless reasons Tension rules this house
C                         G
That it does goes without saying or doubt
E                                     Am
You of course claim it's a force that rules from stars far away, I say,
G            D7         G         D7
Could be the communists Maybe the RCMP
G           D                G
More likely you and me, just drifting away


Verse 2:
G               G7         D7
I offered small resistance that's a doorway made of glass
C                          G
Patiently waiting for that stone to be cast
E                      Am
Though my inaction attracted scorn that morning's quiet fuming
G       D7          G               D7
I never talk to you You don't like being ignored
G               D                 G
My thoughts are out that door and drifting away

Chorus:
E                     Am
No I'm not mocking or talking to amuse myself
G             D7
You've got my number down
G              D7
You know every one of my names
G            D                  G
I think it's plain to see we've drifted away

Verse 3:
 G                G7               D7
You could be the Queen of England and still it'd be the same
C                          G
Calling it quits can go by so many names
E                    Am
Needing a breather Relief A place Some space to call your own
G              D7         G            D7
I've heard 'em all before I know every one of those lines
G                D                       G
So why don't you take what's yours? I'll take what's mine.

Chorus:
E                         Am
and no I'm not mocking or talking to amuse myself
G             D7
You've got my number down
G              D7
You know every one of my names
G            D                  G
I think it's plain to see we've drifted away
