D
Ice-age heat wave, can't complain.
       A6
If the world's at large, why should I remain?
Bm
Walked away to another plan.
G
Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand.
  D                            A6
I move on to another day, to a whole new town with a whole new way.
Bm
Went to the porch to have a thought.
G
Got to the door and again, I couldn't stop.
D
You don't know where and you don't know when.
        A6
But you still got your words and you got your friends.
Bm
Walk along to another day.
G
Work a little harder, work another way.

     D
Well uh-uh baby I ain't got no plan.
      A6
We'll float on maybe would you understand?
      Bm
Gonna float on maybe would you understand?
          G
Well I'll float on maybe would you understand?

D-A6-Bm-G

    D
The days get shorter and the nights get cold.
   A6
I like the autumn but this place is getting old.
  Bm
I pack up my belongings and I head for the coast.
   G
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.
  A6                                                            Bm
I guess it's not surprising but it's spring and I should leave.

G

  D
I like songs about drifters - books about the same.
     A6
They both seem to make me feel a little less insane.
Bm
Walked on off to another spot.
  G
I still haven't got anywhere that I want.
      D
Did I want love? Did I need to know?
    A6                                                  Bm
Why does it always feel like I'm caught in an undertow?

G
D-A6-Bm-G

    D
The moths beat themselves to death against the lights.
A6
Adding their breeze to the summer nights.
Bm
Outside, water like air was great.
  G
I didn't know what I had that day.
D
Walk a little farther to another plan.
    A6                                           Bm
You said that you did, but you didn't understand.

G

  D
I know that starting over is not what life's all about.
       A6
But my thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth.
   Bm
My thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth.
   G
My thoughts were so loud.

D-A6-Bm-G
Repeat until fade-out.
