[Intro]
G D Bm C Em B Cm
[Verse 1]
Bm Ice ageG heat wave, can't complain
If the world's atBm large, why should I remain?
Walked aCway to another plan
Gonna find anBmother place, maybe one IG can stand
I move on to another day
To a whole newBm town with a whole new way
Went to theC porch to have a thought
Got to theBm door, and again, I couldn't stop
You don't know Gwhere and you don't know when
Cut you still got yourBm words and you got your friends
Walk along Cto another day
Work a littleBm harder, work another way
Well uh-uh,G baby, I ain't got no plan
Well I float on,Bm maybe would you understand?
Gonna float on,C maybe would you understand?
Well I float onBm, maybe would you understand?
G Bm C Bm
[Verse 2]
The days getG shorter and the nights get cold
I like theBm autumn but this place is getting old
IEm pack up my beloCngings and I head for the coast
It might not be a lBmot, but I feel like I'm making the most
The days getG longer and the nights smell green
I guess it's notBm surprising, but it's spring and I should leave
C Bm Bm
I like songs aboutG drifters, books about the same
They both seem tBmo make me feel a little less insane
Walked onC off to another spot
I still haven'tBm gotten anywhere that I want
Did I want Glove? Did I need to know?
Why does it alwaysBm feel like I'm caught in an undertow?
C Bm G Bm C Bm
[Verse 3]
The moths beat themGselves to death against the lights
BAdding their breezBme to the summer nights
Outside,C water, like air, was gray
I didn't know whaBmt I had that day
Walk a little Gfarther to another plan
You said that youBm did, but you didn't understand
C Bm
I know that starting over'sG not what life's about
Cut my thoughts were sBmo loud I couldn't hear my mouth
My thoughts were so Cloud I couldn't hear my mouth
My thoughts were sBmo loud
