Driftaway by Motley Crue

Riff 1:
C                  C/B
Look inside the mirror
        Am7               C/G
But I don't know who I see
C                     C/B
Smoke another cigarette
       Am7                  C/G
A smile rolls back the tears

Riff 2:
C                        C/B
This contradiction seems to be
     Am7             D/F#
The story of my life

Riff 3:
  F                 G
A simple man with memories of   
       C         C/B        Am7     C/G
Those long lost golden days

I close my eyes and slowly drift away

Riff 4: Solo 1

Riff 1:
   C
Mistakes I've made
        C/B          Am7
Remind me of the roads

I shouldn't choose
C                   C/B
Never comes that easy when

There's nothing left to lose

I cant see answers tell me
   Am7            D/F#
Why am I so blind?
F                  G
A tired man, I'll make the best
     C      C/B       Am7     C/B
Of another lonely day
  F                  G
I close my eyes and slowly drift away

Riff 5: Bridge to solo
F                      Fm
Never thought I'd make it
           C
Just by playing my guitar
F
Just a little smile always
Fm                    C
Shelters me from pain
F                  G
Every time I start to slide
C         C/B     Am7      C/G
I wish upon a star
    D7
The sun comes up
                         G     C/E    G
And dries up all the rain

Shade on a hot and lonely day

I close my eyes and dream my life away
F                  G                 C   C/B  Am7  C/G
Now I know that I can stop the rain
F                     G              C  C/B   Am7  C/G
Close my eyes and slowly drift away

Close my eyes and dream my life away

Close my eyes dream my life away.
