It's the closing hour

    G7              C
but I don't want to go

              G        F    G
I could stay afloat in your eyes

G                           G7            C

but I won't stray across the white line

a drunk that's sleeping in the corner

sweet dreams, make waves, find bliss
[Verse 2]

when elephants go down

   G7                  C
to the water hole at dusk

                G      F       C
they feel the same as us about life

G
we all take a drink

           G7         C
as the sun begins to sink

the alligator waits for his time

you say there's no use

G7                  C
feeling lost and discontent

               G      F       C
looking for a friend I can trust

G
for all my intent

         G7         C
it hasn't happened yet

                     G    F   C
and now I come to you for insight

sweet dreams, make waves, find bliss
