Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Ice-age  heat wave, can't complain.
 If the world's  at large, why should I remain?
Walked  away to another plan.
Gonna  find another place, maybe one I can stand.
 I move  on to another day, to a whole  new town with a whole new way.
Went  to the porch to have a thought.
Got  to the door and again, I couldn't stop.
You  don't know where and you don't know when.
 But you still  got your words and you got your friends.
Walk  along to another day.
Work  a little harder, work another way.
 Well uh-uh  baby I ain't got no plan.
 We'll float  on maybe would you understand?
 Gonna float  on maybe would you understand?
 Well I'll float  on maybe would you understand?
 The days  get shorter and the nights get cold.
 I like  the autumn but this place is getting old.
 I pack  up my belongings and I head for the coast.
 It might  not be a lot but I feel like I'm making the most.
 The day's  get longer and the nights smell green.
 I guess  it's not surprising but it's spring and I should leave.
 I like  songs about drifters - books about the same.
 They both  seem to make me feel a little less insane.
Walked  on off to another spot.
 I still  haven't got anywhere that I want.
 Did I want  love? Did I need to know?
 Why does  it always feel like I'm caught in an undertow?
 The moths  beat themselves to death against the lights.
Adding  their breeze to the summer nights.
Outside,  water like air was great.
 I didn't  know what I had that day.
Walk  a little farther to another plan.
 You said  that you did, but you didn't understand.
 I know  that starting over is not what life's all about.
 But my thoughts  were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth.
 My thoughts  were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth.
 My thoughts  were so loud.
Repeat  until  fade-out.
