Intro: C G Bm C
 CG
Its four in the afternoon
 BmC
I'm on a flight leaving LA
 CG
 Trying to think about my life
 BmC
My youth scattered along the highway

 AmEm
 Hotel rooms in headlights
 GD
 I've made a living with a song
 EmC
Just a guitar as my companion
 GD
Wanting desperately to be loved

 EmDG
 Fame is filled with spoiled children
 EmDGEm
 They grow fat on fantasy  
 DG
 I guess that's why I'm leaving
 D
 I crave reality

---vvv---Chorus

 GCDG
So goodbye Alice in Wonderland
 CD
Goodbye yellow brick road
 GCDG
 There is a difference between dreaming and pretending
 EmC
I did not find paradise   
 G
It was only a reflection    
 D
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
------------^^^^^----------------


BRIDGE:Em D G C Bm C D
 Em
 Dreaming is a good thing
 D
Cause it brings new things to life
 G
 Pretending is an ending
 C
That perpetuates a lie
 Bm
 Forgetting what you are
 CD
 Seeing for what you've been told
 EmD
 And growing up is not the answer to dreaming
 GC
Its being able to understand the difference between
 BmCD
The ones you can hold and the ones that you've been sold

 EmDGEm
 Truth is stranger than fiction     
 DGEm
This is my chance to get it right   
 DG
 Life is much better
 D
Without all of your pretty lies

 GCDG
So goodbye Alice in Wonderland
 CD
You can keep your yellow brick road
 GCDG
 There is a difference between dreaming and pretending
 EmC
That was not love in your eyes    

It was only a reflection
 GDC
 Of my lonely mind wanting      

It was only a reflection
 GD
 Of my lonely mind wishing
C Em(upward strum)
That you were what was missing from my life


Am Bm C D Em G
