Driftwood - The Moody Blues

D / / / G / / /    x2

D
Just like the driftwood of a dream
             G            A
Left on the seashore of sleep
D
Just like the words that wouldn't rhyme
             G         A
Lost in the desert of time

               Em            A
Time waits for no one at all, no not even you
                   Em                A
You thought you'd seen it all before, you really thought you knew

I don't remember what was said in the confusion that night
I only know what's on my mind, what's in the future we will decide

Time waits for no one at all, no not even you
You thought you'd seen it all before, you really thought you knew

       Bb             Gm        Dm             Gm
I've shattered the illusion of fortune and of fame
     D               G                D            G
But darling, now I know you life can never be the same
  A                     Em     A         D
Oh no, don't leave me driftwood on the shore

Time waits for no one my love, no not even you
You thought you'd seen it all before, you really thought you knew

I've shattered the illusion of fortune and of fame
But darling, now I know you life can never be the same
Oh no, don't leave me driftwood on the shore
G      A                      Em     A         D
Oh no don't, don't leave me driftwood on the shore
G       A                     Em     A         D
Oh oh oh no, don't leave me driftwood on the shore
