BARENAKED LADIES - ADRIFT

full tab. This is my first transcription, but I'm certain all the chords are accurate.

[A(2)]Ever [Amaj7]since we [A6]said our good[A]byes
[A(2)]The onion rin[Amaj7]gs, the pho[A6]ne makes me [A]cry
[Bm7]Something isn't r[A(2)]ight
[Bm7]Like the Deep Blue witho[G]ut the Great W[A]hite
[A(2)]In the [Amaj7]morning [A6]open your eye[A]s
[A(2)]The waterf[Amaj7]alls, [A6]the fire [A]flies
[Bm7]You're an aba[A(2)]cus
[Bm7]And my heart was c[G]ounting on u[A]s
Your hear[D]t's got a heavy loa[E]d
There's s[C#m]till a long way to[Bm7(2)] go
Keep your eyes on the roa[A]d
[A(2)]Crescent m[Amaj7]oon sings[A6] me to [A]sleep
[A(2)]The birches b[Amaj7]ark, t[A6]he willows wee[A]p
[Bm7]But I lie awa[A(2)]ke
[Bm7]I'm adrift withou[G]t a snowflak[A]e
Your hear[D]t's got a heavy loa[E]d
There's s[C#m]till a long way to [Bm7(2)]go
Keep your eyes on the roa[A]d
