This is the best way I've figured out how to play it.

CAPO 5!


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

    C
Well uh-uh baby I ain't got no plan.
     F
We'll float on maybe would you understand?
     Am
Gonna float on maybe would you understand?
         F
Well I'll float on maybe would you understand?

   C
The days get shorter and the nights get cold.
 F
I like the autumn but this place is getting old.
 Am
I pack up my belongings and I head for the coast.
 F
It might not be a lot but I feel like I'm making the most.
   C
The day's get longer and the nights smell green.
 F
I guess it's not surprising but it's spring and I should leave.

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


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

Am, F, C, Am

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