A6     x02222
Gmaj7  3x0002 or xx5432

D
Ice-age heat wave, can't complain.

       A
If the world's at large, why should I remain?

Gmaj7
Walked away to another plan.

F#m                        A                
Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand.

  D                            A
I move on to another day, to a whole new town with a whole new way.

Gmaj7
Went to the porch to have a thought.

D
You don't know where and you don't know when.

        A
But you still got your words and you got your friends.

Gmaj7
Walk along to another day.

F#m                         A
Work a little harder, work another way.

     D
Well uh-uh baby I ain't got no plan.

      A
We'll float on maybe would you understand?

      Gmaj7
Gonna float on maybe would you understand?

          F#m                      A
Well I'll float on maybe would you understand?

    D
The days get shorter and the nights get cold.

   A
I like the autumn but this place is getting old.

  Gmaj7
I pack up my belongings and I head for the coast.

   F#m                      A
It might not be a lot but I feel like I'm making the most.

    D
The day's get longer and the nights smell green.

  A                                                            Gmaj7
I guess it's not surprising but it's spring and I should leave.

  D
I like songs about drifters - books about the same.

     A
They both seem to make me feel a little less insane.

Gmaj7
Walked on off to another spot.

  F#m                   A
I still haven't got anywhere that I want.

      D
Did I want love? Did I need to know?

    A                                                  Gmaj7
Why does it always feel like I'm caught in an undertow?

    D
The moths beat themselves to death against the lights.

A
Adding their breeze to the summer nights.

Gmaj7
Outside, water like air was great.

  F#m                 A
I didn't know what I had that day.

D
Walk a little farther to another plan.

    A                                            Gmaj7
You said that you did, but you didn't understand.

  D
I know that starting over is not what life's all about.

       A
But my thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth.

   Gmaj7
My thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth.

   F#m                A
My thoughts were so loud.

D                      A                      Gmaj7                   F#m     A

D                      A                      Gmaj7                   F#m     A
ba ba ba ba ba ba baaa ba ba ba ba ba ba baaa ba ba ba ba ba ba baaa ba ba ba baa baaa
