[Verse 1]
Dsus2 Cadd9 Asus4 G5 Making plans in the sands as the tides roll in Dsus2/E Didn't plan it, didn't plan it, different planets stare down on us Dsus2 Cadd9 Asus4 G5 Never blinking, sort of winking, indifferent as a ceiling Dsus2/E Observing that we're kneeling in the sands, building plans Dsus2 Cadd9 Asus4 G5 Making plans in the sand as the tides roll in Dsus2/E I've been sitting in the stove 'cause outside it's sure been cold Dsus2 Cadd9 Asus4 G5 The garbage cans refrigerated since that's where the food goes Dsus2/E Making plans, making plans, making plans Dsus2 Cadd9 Asus4 G5 Wooden soldiers storm through burning, buildings on the top floor Dsus2/E Lives the zoo king's neckties, preventing them from breathing Dsus2 Cadd9 Oh, it's such a fuzzy feeling Asus4 G5 Dsus2/E Oh, it's such a fuzzy feeling making plans Dsus2 Cadd9 Asus4 G5 Gasoline flows out the ends of matchsticks used as pens Dsus2/E And I've been writing some pretty big checks with them! D Cadd9 I gave the boat a person's name Asus4 G5 So when it sinks I'll know who to blame Dsus2/E The tiger isn't tame but it's toothless just the same
[Chorus]
Am Making plans in the sands as the tides roll in F Making plans, making plans, making plans Am F Making plans in the sands as the tides roll in, making plans
[Interlde]
Am F
Am F
[Verse 2]
Dsus2 Cadd9 Asus4 G5 These fuckers wanted guilt, they tore me down and I rebuilt Dsus2/E Much better, oh, much better than before Dsus2 Cadd9 Asus4 G5 In India they make mugs, you throw them down, they turn to mud Dsus2/E Pull it out and make them as they were before Dsus2 Cadd9 Asus4 G5 Since we shop at the same store but hate each other at the core Dsus2/E And neither one is getting a fair deal Dsus2 Cadd9 Asus4 G5 Sell it all on sex appeal how you currently feel Dsus2/E Don't need any, just buy one, the second one will be a steal Dsus2 Cadd9 Hashtagging, photo bragging Asus4 G5 No one who's even sort of real Dsus2/E No wonder no one feels better then before
[Chorus]
Am Making plans in the sands as the tides roll in F Making plans, making plans, making plans Am F Making plans in the sands as the tides roll in, making plans Am F Making plans in the sands as the tides roll in, making plans Am F Making plans in the sands as the tides roll in, making plans
[Outro]
G It's level at the peak Am Our words don't speak F Calm down, retreat me C Just being here now is enough for me G It's level at the peak Am Our words don't speak F You just being here being you's enough for me C You just being here being you's enough for me G It's level at the peak Am Find your breath, don't speak F Just being here, being you's enough for me C Just being here, being you's enough for me G It's level at the peak Am Even death just may not be F We'll cross that bridge sometime and see C But just being here now is enough for me G Just being here now is enough for me Am Just being here now is enough for me F Just being here now is enough for me C Just being here now is enough for me
