Verse 1:
Bm     G
  Ice age heat wave, can't complain
         Bm
If the world's at large, why should I remain?
    C
Walked away to another plan
       Bm           G
Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand

I move on to another day
       Bm
To a whole new town with a whole new way
      C
Went to the porch to have a thought
     Bm
Got to the door, and again, I couldn't stop
        G
You don't know where and you don't know when
           Bm
Cut you still got your words and you got your friends
      C
Walk along to another day
       Bm
Work a little harder, work another way
      G
Well uh-uh, baby, I ain't got no plan
        Bm
Well I float on, maybe would you understand?
        C
Gonna float on, maybe would you understand?
        Bm
Well I float on, maybe would you understand?

G Bm C Bm

Verse 2:
      G
The days get shorter and the nights get cold
     Bm
I like the autumn but this place is getting old
 Em       C
I pack up my belongings and I head for the coast
          Bm
It might not be a lot, but I feel like I'm making the most
      G
The days get longer and the nights smell green
        Bm
I guess it's not surprising, but it's spring and I should leave

C Bm Bm
         G
I like songs about drifters, books about the same
        Bm
They both seem to make me feel a little less insane
     C
Walked on off to another spot
        Bm
I still haven't gotten anywhere that I want
      G
Did I want love? Did I need to know?
         Bm
Why does it always feel like I'm caught in an undertow?

C Bm G Bm C Bm

Verse 3:
          G
The moths beat themselves to death against the lights
B         Bm
Adding their breeze to the summer nights
    C
Outside, water, like air, was gray
         Bm
I didn't know what I had that day
       G
Walk a little farther to another plan
         Bm
You said that you did, but you didn't understand

C Bm
              G
I know that starting over's not what life's about
           Bm
Cut my thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth
          C
My thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth
         Bm
My thoughts were so loud
