Intro: C majorC G+G B minorBm C majorC
C majorC G+G
Its four in the afternoon
B minorBm C majorC
I'm on a flight leaving LA
C majorC G+G
Trying to think about my life
B minorBm C majorC
My youth scattered along the highway
A minorAm E minorEm
Hotel rooms in headlights
G+G D MajorD
I've made a living with a song
E minorEm C majorC
Just a guitar as my companion
G+G D MajorD
Wanting desperately to be loved
E minorEm D MajorD G+G
Fame is filled with spoiled children
E minorEm D MajorD G+G E minorEm
They grow fat on fantasy

I guess that's why I'm leaving

I crave reality
---vvv---Chorus

So goodbye Alice in Wonderland
C majorC D MajorD
Goodbye yellow brick road
G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
There is a difference between dreaming and pretending
E minorEm C majorC
I did not find paradise
G+G
It was only a reflection
D MajorD
Of my lonely mind searching
Em???
For what was missing in my life
VERSE AND CHORUS 2 SAME CHORDS
------------vvvvv----------------
I'm embarassed to say
The rest is a rock and roll cliche
I hit the bottom when i reached the top
Never knew it was you
Who was breaking my heart
I thought you had to love me
But you did not
Yes, a heart can hallucinate
If its completely stuffed for life
Can even make monsters seem like
Angels from above
Forged my love like a weapon
Turned it against me like a knife
Broke my last heart string
But you opened up my eyes
So goodbye Alice in Wonderland
Goodbye yellow brick road
There is a difference between dreaming and pretending
That was not love in your eyes
It was only a reflection
Of my lonely mind wanting
What was missing in my life
------------^^^^^----------------

Cause it brings new things to life

That perpetuates a lie
B minorBm
Forgetting what you are
C majorC D MajorD
Seeing for what you've been told
E minorEm D MajorD
And growing up is not the answer to dreaming
G+G C majorC
Its being able to understand the difference between
B minorBm C majorC D MajorD
The ones you can hold and the ones that you've been sold

Truth is stranger than fiction
D MajorD G+G E minorEm
This is my chance to get it right
D MajorD G+G
Life is much better
D MajorD
Without all of your pretty lies
G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
So goodbye Alice in Wonderland
C majorC D MajorD
You can keep your yellow brick road
G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
There is a difference between dreaming and pretending

That was not love in your eyes
It was only a reflection
