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
