Intro:
G+G D MajorD B minorBm C majorC E minorEm BB C minorCm

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

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

G+G B minorBm C majorC B minorBm

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

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

C majorC B minorBm G+G B minorBm C majorC B minorBm

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

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