Jack Johnson's Adrift, as tabbed for a lead guitar, with rhythm guitar following the
progression.
Note that this tab is not perfect;
It is my interpretation of how you would separate the studio recording into two distinct parts.
It is thus not very suitable for someone going solo.
I will release a tab for a single guitar in the future, which is a mix of finger picking
light strumming.
This is my first tab, so take it easy on me if I messed anything up.

Guitar 2
C
Your voice is adrift I can't expect it
F
To sing to me
C
As if I was the only one
F
I'll follow you
C
A leaf that's following the sun
G
When will my weight be too much for you?
Am G F
When will these ideas really be my own?
C G
This moment keeps on moving
C
We were never meant to hold on
Well this was a scene worth waking up for
F
When I woke up
C
You planted me in my own pot
F
I don't know why
C
But somehow it just feels so wrong
G
When you set I will be lonely
Am G F
But when you rise again I'll have become the sun
C G
And I will shine down upon you
C
As if you were the only one
Your voice is your own I can't protect it
F
You'll have to sing
C
A verse no one has ever known
F
Don't be afraid
C
Because no one ever sings alone
G
Your weight will never be too much for me
Am G F
Your ideas have always been your own
C G
And this moment keeps on moving
C
We were never meant to hold on
