E
If elephants could fly,
          A               B
I'd be a little more optimistic
    E                          A        B
But I don't see that happening anytime soon
E                      A       B
I don't mean to sound so pessimistic
    E
But I don't think that cow really
 A               B
jumped over the moon

A            E
When will I wake up?
A            C#m
Why did we break up?
F#m           B
When will we make up?

Chorus:
E                    G#m
When money grows on trees
                A
People live in peace
            B
Everyone agrees
E                 G#m
When happiness is free
                A
Love can guarantee
                     B           E
You'll come back to me, that's when

I'd love to wake up smiling,
full of the joys of spring
And hear on CNN that Elvis lives again
And that John's back with
the Beatles and they're going out on tour
I'll be the first in line for tickets
Gotta see that show for sure

When will I wake up?
Why did we break up?
When will we make up?

Chorus

When will I wake up?
Why did we break up?
When will we make up?

Chorus

Oh, that's when
