Verse 1: 
        Cadd9   C      G 
Neither ore was in the water 
        C              G 
Neither eye was on the shore 
     C/E     C     G     C 
So I guess I never noticed 
    F                     
The approaching storm 
      Cadd9   C        G 
When I took in all the damage 
       C      Cadd9     F 
And the clouds began to lift 
F/D                             G     *G6 *G/D 
I found out it wasn't worth the risk 
 
 
       F/C             C     Cadd9 C 
When a heart begins to drift 
        G              C 
And the mind begins to wonder 
     F                C 
It's amazing just how quick 
          G 
Love can loose its wings 
         F/C           C 
You were almost out of reach 
      G/D              Am 
I was close to goin' under 
F/C            C            G             
I know now how dangerous it is 
       C     Cadd9     F/C 
When a heart begins to drift  
 
Verse 2: 
      Cadd9  C        G 
Never told myself I'm leavin' 
      C         Cadd9     G 
Never felt your arm break free 
          C/E    C    G      C      F 
I don't remember any distant voices calling me 
            C             G 
Though your memory wasn't faded 
        C                F 
I could fill my cup with shame 
     F/D                             G      *G6  *G/D 
Even love as strong as ours can fall apart 
 
(chorus)

Bridge: 
    G                 D 
But now you're out of reach 
   B                 G    *G6 *G (these two are very soft) 
And I'm slowly going under 
D                           A 
Now I know how dangerous it is 
       D               G 
When a heart begins to drift
