Verse 1:
F
Ice age heat wave, can't complain
C6
If the world's at large, why should I remain?
Bbmaj7
Walked away to another plan
Am
Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand
F
I move on to another day
C6
To a whole new town with a whole new way
Bbmaj7
Went to the porch to have a thought
Am
Got to the door, and again, I couldn't stop
F
You don't know where and you don't know when
C6
But you still got your words and you got your friends
Bbmaj7
Walk along to another day
Am
Work a little harder, work another way
F
Well uh-uh, baby, I ain't got no plan
C6
Well I float on, maybe would you understand?
Bbmaj7
Gonna float on, maybe would you understand?
Am
Well I float on, maybe would you understand?


Verse 2:
F
The days get shorter and the nights get cold
C6
I like the autumn but this place is getting old
Bbmaj7
I pack up my belongings and I head for the coast
Am
It might not be a lot, but I feel like I'm making the most
F
The days get longer and the nights smell green
C6
I guess it's not surprising, but it's spring and I should leave

Bbmaj7

Am

F
I like songs about drifters, books about the same
C6
They both seem to make me feel a little less insane
Bbmaj7
Walked on off to another spot
C6
I still haven't gotten anywhere that I want
Bbmaj7
Did I want love? Did I need to know?
Am
Why does it always feel like I'm caught in an undertow?


Verse 3:
F
The moths beat themselves to death against the lights
C6
Adding their breeze to the summer nights
Bbmaj7
Outside, water, like air, was gray
Am
I didn't know what I had that day
F
Walk a little farther to another plan
C6
You said that you did, but you didn't understand

Bbmaj7

Am

F
I know that starting over's not what life's about
C6
But my thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth
Bbmaj7
My thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth
Am
My thoughts were so loud
