Ben Caplan - Drift Apart chords

Highlighted       Show chord diagrams
This is a simple but very powerful song. Capo 2.

B7 is played in its barred version, so x24242 relative to the capo
As he gets further into the song, he also starts rooting the B7 chord on the
F# relative to the capo, so the chord shape turns into 224242. Not too hard
to switch up. Also, he hammers on the B for the G chord pretty often
throughout the song. It's fantastic, you should hear it live, just
gut-wrenching. In his words, "Have you ever had your heart taken and put
into traffic?" Just great. Here's the tab:


G ---- G ---- G --- G w/ occasional hammer onto the second fret (relative to
capo) on the A string


   C               Em
   When I wrote you that letter

Am                    G   
   You'd already made up your mind

Em         Am7               B7
   All my words were writ in vain



  C                  Em
   When I called you up that day

  Am                  G
   I was only calling up to say

       Em          Am7        B7
   Hellooooooooooo


           C       Em       Am      G        
   But goodbyeeeeeeee.....

           Em                   Am7                  B7
   Was the word that she'd been thinking 'bout for days



  C                            Em
   I didn't know that you were going to leave me

  Am                        G
   I wish I knew the way to make you come home

        Am7         B7                Em  (Bend guitar for Wah-oo-wah)
   What can I do if this is right for you



Chorus

   Am       C        G          D
   I have not been perfect for you

     Am                C               G        D
   Although I think I was back at the start

   Am        C        G           D
   You have no more patience for me

      Am                C                G       G
   So now I guess we'll both just drift apart

     D x 2


 C                   Em   
   All those times I wasn't there

    Am                     G
   The times you thought I didn't care

   Em               Am7                B7
   I hope you can believe I thought of you



       C              Em            
   Cause you were everything I needed

      Am                 G
   I've been selfish and so self-absorbed
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/b/ben-caplan/345029.html ]
     Em                    Am7            B7
   I thought that you'd be waiting when I reached the other side



        C              Em           Am               G
   Last night I put my arms around another woman's waist

       Em                   Am7          B7
   The touch was sweet but bitter as we danced



  C                    Em
   And great love can bring greater pain

 Am                 G
   I hope I fall in love again

        Am          B7                  Em  (Bend guitar for Wah-oo-wah)
   What can I do if this is right for you




Chorus

   Am     C         G           D
   I have not been perfect for you

     Am               C               G        D
   I like to think I was back at the start

   Am        C        G          D
   You have no more patience for me

      Am                C               G       G
   So now I guess we'll both just drift apart

     B7 x 2


   Em   Am   C    B7 x 4
   Da da da da da da da da da da da (figure out the melody yourselves)


  Em           Am              C          B7          
   I want the best for you and now I realize that isn't me

 Em           Am             C                B7    
   I haven't been the man in need, I wish I'd been able to be

  Em           Am            C             B7
   I'm sorry that I did not give you everything that you desired

  Em           Am            C                   B7            Am
   And that I made you feel upset when you just made me feel inspired

          C          G           D
   I have not been perfect for you

      Am              C               G          D
   I wish we could go back and just restart

       Am         C       G            D
   But you have no more patience for me

      Am                C                 G         G       B7     B7
   So now I guess we'll both just drift apaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaart





               Em             Am         C         B7        
   Drift apart - ah da ah da ah da da da ahhhh da ah da da     x4



End on Em.
