Drifting Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][C][F][F]

[Chorus 1]
[Am]Drifting[C]
Watchin' the world go [F]'round
World go, yeah (world go, yeah)
[Am]Listening
To [C]unfamiliar feelings and un[F]known sounds

[Verse 1]
Unknown sounds, unknown sounds
[Am]Slippin' through my fingertips (ayy), lingerin'
[C]Shoulda, woulda, coulda,
where'd I put the pen?
[F](Woah) Make a list of all my failed attempts,
runnin' out of space again
Highlight all the things I wish I never said
(stop) If [Am]feeling makes you stronger,
I'm the weakest
That would [C]mean that I would have to
separate from my beliefs
It's not a [F]secret, I'm a puzzle,
got a lot of missin' pieces
Underneath this strong persona
I put on's a kid that's screamin'
Aren't these [Am]waters so deceivin'?
(So deceivin')
They look different, don't they?
[C]Well, at least that's how they seem to me
'Cause we're just driftin', driftin', [F]driftin'
'Til we see something that
we define as peaceful
Grab the needle, shoot reminders in my veins

[Chorus 2]
That people leave you while I'm
[Am](driftin')[C]
Watchin' the world go [F]'round
World go, yeah (world go, yeah)
[Am]Listening
To [C]unfamiliar feelings and un[F]known sounds

[Verse 2]
Unknown sounds, unknown sounds
[Am]Lots of gossip, I've been watchin' you
[C]How you're talkin' to yourself is rude
[F]Driftin', I'm in the same boat as you
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 [F](Whoa)
My train of thought is leading me to
different tracks
Positive that where
I'm at is not where I should stay and that's
[Am](why)
Told you look into the mirror and say,
"I love you"
Con[C]vince yourself that no one in the world
would ever want to
[F]Passin' by the people that have been there
to support you
From the 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[F]dict that all my wishes on my wish list
won't be heard 'cause I'm committed to the lie
that feeling safe is unrealistic

[Chorus 3]
When I'm
[Am](driftin')[C]
Watchin' the world go [F]'round
World go, yeah (world go, yeah)
[Am]Listening
To [C]unfamiliar feelings and un[F]known sounds

[Interlude 1]
Unknown sounds, unknown sounds
[Am][C][F][F]
[Am]

[Verse 3]
[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,
im[F]mersed in my belligerence, amplified
The feelings and words collide
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 [F]isn't an innocent bone in my body
But that's what gives me the energy lacked
To renovate, have to innovate,
past intimidates
Can't remain afraid
