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
