Intro: G 

You are child when love is born 
                       Am     C 
Can't stay a child for long 
                         Dm         C 
Maybe the good times are up ahead 
            D7        G      C 
Maybe those times are gone 


                    D7 
Same things keeping us together 
        G                   C 
Are the very ones making it hard 
                  D         C 
Better take a look around 
            D         G  
Baby, we're drifting apart 



          Am         D 
Drifting apart, drifting 
            Am         D 
Drifting so slow, drifting 
            G               Em 
I watch you go, I watch you go 
                        C     D 
Don't pretend you don't know 


G 
Day by day, slowly you change 
                      Am    C 
Growing into what you are 
               Dm          C 
Nobody sees it happening 
               D7        G      C 
It's easy like opening a door 


                    D7 
Same things keeping us together 
  G                          C 
Begin to make a wreck of our hearts 
          D               C 
No use to shout about it 
            D        G  
Baby, we've drifted apart 


 
          Am         D 
Drifting apart, drifting 
            Am         D 
Drifting so slow, drifting 
            G               Em 
I watch you go, I watch you go 
                        C     D 
Don't pretend you don't know
