sounds really good. Open Capo.




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

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

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

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


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

Em, Cm, G, Em

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