G  Am        D   G       Am         D
I love this water and I love these waves
G      Am                D
And I love to watch the palm trees
                     G Am D
how they dance and sway

     Am                     D
The cooler's full and the sky is clear
     Am                            D
The cool breeze blows and all my friends are here

Chorus:
C                  D                G  Em
And I don't wanna be in this boat alone
          C           D
When the party's over and my friends
               G  Em
all gotta get home
         C                D
I wanna wave goodbye and tie and drift
     G   F#m     Em
back off holdin' on
                    Am
To somebody hangin' on to me, oh,
D
I don't wanna be in this boat alone

They leave tomorrow
As soon as they do
I'll pull up anchor
And fly back too
Oh, but one of these days
I'm going to hang around
And find the right someone
Yeah, I'm going to anchor down

Chorus:
But I don't want to be in this boat alone
When the party's over
And my friends all got to get home
I want to wave goodbye
Untie and drift back off holding on
To somebody hanging on to me
Oh, I don't want to be in this boat alone

I see myself in twenty years
Just lovin' life floatin' round out here

Chorus:
But I don't want to be in this boat alone
When the party's over
And my friends all got to get home
I want to wave goodbye
And tie and drift back off holding on
To somebody hanging on to me
Oh, I don't want to be in this boat alone

In this boat alone
