[Intro]
G D Bm C Em B Cm
[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
