Drifted apart

Verse 1*
*G*
We sat where the tide meets stone
*D*
Your laugh was warm, now it’s gone
*Em*
The waves keep pulling you home
*C*
And I’m still here on my own

*Chorus*
*G*
Drifted apart, like sand in the waves
*D*
Close for a moment, then slipped from my hand
*Em*
I call out your name through the night
*C*
But the dark don’t bring you back to me

*Verse 2*
*G*
Your hoodie still smells like rain
*D*
I fold it slow, feel the pain
*Em*
The night’s too quiet to lie
*C*
So I let the silence reply

*Chorus*
*G*
Drifted apart, like sand in the waves
*D*
Close for a moment, then slipped from my hand
*Em*
I call out your name through the night
*C*
But the dark don’t bring you back to light

(Bridge)
Though the waves are calm
The sky is bright you are gone
Drifted away slipping away
My Sunset is now gray

(Chorus) 2×

*Outro*
*G*
Drifted...
*D*
Apart...

*G*
