[Intro]
| D/E | % | % | % |
[Verse]
D A G A
Now the party's over, I'm so tired
D A G A
Then I see you coming out of nowhere
D A G A
Much communication in a motion
D A G A
Without conversation or a notion
[Chorus]
| Cadd9 | Bb | Asus4 | A |
(Oooh - oooh)
| Cadd9 | Bb | Asus4 | E | % |
Avalon
[Verse]
D A G A
When the samba takes you out of nowhere
D A G A
And the background's fading out of focus
D A G A
Yes the picture's changing every moment
D A G A
And your destination you don't know it
[Chorus]
| Cadd9 | Bb | Asus4 | A |
(Oooh - oooh)
| Cadd9 | Bb | Asus4 | E | % |

Dancing, dancing
[Verse]
D A G A
When you bossa nova there's no holding
D A G A
Would you have me dancing out of nowhere
[Chorus]
| Cadd9 | Bb | Asus4 | A |
