Sadness slips into the room 
   F               C 
On silent steps of sorrow 
G                  C 
Stealing sleep and all my dreams 
D 
Where will we be tomorrow?  
 
C                                Dm 
Lying with you, crying with you, drifting 
G					   C 
Talking till dawn yet we go on, drifting 
 							      F 
Don?t understand where we began just drifting apart 
Em				 Dm7           C 
Drifting apart feeling alone drifting away 
 
                 Dm         G                      C 
We can?t seem to work it out  drifting from day to day 
          Dm     G            Am  
Wasn?t it all about, drifting away 
          G              C 
Drifting away, drifting away 
 
Losing the feeling 
 					  F	 
And now the music of the song is almost gone 
                C  
That we used to play 
              Dm                    C    F   G 
From sweet surrender from drifting away, drifting 
 
C                                   Dm 
Two lovers lost two rivers crossed, drifting 
G				        C 
Two bridges burned, no lesson learned, drifting 
 								    C7            F 
Lonely together, hurting each other still we can?t say that it?s over 
Dm                       Am 
Can we bring back yesterday?  
           Dsus4 Dm          G         C Am  
Will we be fore-ver, forever drifting away 
F         G         C 
Drifting, drifting away
