Biography:
Catherine Tift Merritt (born January 8, 1975, in Houston, Texas, but moved to Raleigh, North Carolina soon after) is a critically acclaimed American singer-songwriter, musician. She is currently based in New York.
Merritt's father taught her guitar chords and Percy Sledge songs. She began her professional career in 1998 with her band The Carbines playing small clubs. In her early twenties, though Tift had gigged by herself, she decided she was not very good at music and better suited for writing short stories.

Tift Merritt - Drifted Apart
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: G
You are child when love is born
Am C
Can't stay a child for long
Dm C
Maybe the good times are up ahead
D7 G C
Maybe those times are gone
D7
Same things keeping us together
G C
Are the very ones making it hard
D C
Better take a look around
D G
Baby, we're drifting apart
CHORUS:
Am D
Drifting apart, drifting
Am D
Drifting so slow, drifting
G Em
I watch you go, I watch you go
C D
Don't pretend you don't know
G
Day by day, slowly you change
Am C
Growing into what you are
Dm C
Nobody sees it happening
D7 G C
It's easy like opening a door
D7
Same things keeping us together
G C
Begin to make a wreck of our hearts
D C
No use to shout about it
D G
Baby, we've drifted apart
CHORUS:
Am D
Drifting apart, drifting
Am D
Drifting so slow, drifting
G Em
I watch you go, I watch you go
C D
Don't pretend you don't know
INSTRUMENTAL: G Am C Dm C D7 G
The quiet settling of the night
Am C
It always comes to this
Dm C
You answer to yourself in the dark
D7 G C
That's where everyone lives
D7
Same things keeping us together
G C
Are the problems we had from the start
D
Staying beside each other, lonesome
G C
Feels like the hardest part
D7
Same things keeping us to together
G C
Are the very ones that tear us apart
D C
Nobody's fault at all
D G
Baby, we're drifting apart
CHORUS:
Am D
Drifting apart, drifting
Am D
Drifting so slow, drifting
G Em
I watch you go, I watch you go
C D
Don't pretend you don't know
