Semisonic – Makin’ A Plan
Intro	
|	A|	D|x2
Verse
AOut in the land where my dreams flew around
DI bulldozed the trees and set my feet on the ground
APut a day in and a week would come out
DI didn't have time for doubt
AThen when the whole thing went down the drain
DI learned that the future don't always obey
ANow I'm afraid to get back in the pool
DSomehow I'd feel like a fool
Chorus
AMakDin' a Plan
AMakDin' a Plan
Verse
High in the morning with climbing to do
High in the turrets I'm thinking of you
Everybody says it's all for the best
Somehow I wouldn't have guessed
Little dominions turn into dust
Schemes blow away on a breeze of mistrust
I'm not feeling sorry for little ol' me
But I'm not about to be
Makin' a Plan
Makin' a Plan
Bridge
BmStop, Dyou work your way up til you drop
Down F#down until your ears go pop
What Ewere we gonna do at the top?
	|	A|	D|etc etc
I forgot
ANow I can sit and watch the time fly
DAnd I'll feel better when tears have gone by
AI'll never again be blindsided by fate
BmThe future will have to wait
DI only have time for today
BmAs long as I can delay
AMakDin' a Plan
AMakDin' a Plan
AMakDin' a Plan
AMakDin' Aa Plan

Out in the land where my dreams flew around

I bulldozed the trees and set my feet on the ground

Put a day in and a week would come out

I didn't have time for doubt

Then when the whole thing went down the drain

I learned that the future don't always obey

Now I'm afraid to get back in the pool

Somehow I'd feel like a fool
