BARENAKED LADIES - ADRIFT

There are so many complex harmonies in this song I won't even dare to pull out a
full tab. This is my first transcription, but I'm certain all the chords are accurate.

Standard Tuning - no capo

A(2) Amaj7    A6           A
Ever since we said our goodbyes
A(2)         Amaj7      A6          A          
The onion rings, the phone makes me cry
Bm7              A(2)
Something isn't right
Bm7                     G             A
Like the Deep Blue without the Great White


A(2)   Amaj7   A6           A
In the morning open your eyes
A(2)      Amaj7 A6       A
The waterfalls, the fire flies
Bm7          A(2)
You're an abacus
Bm7               G           A
And my heart was counting on us


         D                  E
Your heart's got a heavy load
         C#m               Bm7(2)
There's still a long way to go
                         A
Keep your eyes on the road


A(2)      Amaj7    A6     A
Crescent moon sings me to sleep
A(2)         Amaj7 A6            A  
The birches bark, the willows weep
Bm7          A(2)
But I lie awake
Bm7              G           A
I'm adrift without a snowflake


         D                  E
Your heart's got a heavy load
         C#m                Bm7(2)
There's still a long way to go
                         A
Keep your eyes on the road
