Alice Tom Waits
(Verse 1)
It's dreamy [Am7]weather we're [B7]on
You waved your cr[Em7]ooked wand[E7]
Along an i[Am7]cy pond with a frozen [B7]moon
A murder of [Em7]silhouette [Am7]crows I saw
And the tears on my f[B7]ace
And the skates on the [Am7]pond[B7]
They spell [Em7]Alice[E7]
(Verse 2)
[Am7] I disappear in your [B7]name
But you must [Em7]wait for me[E7]
Somewhere a[Am7]cross the sea
There's a wreck of a [B7]ship
Your hair is like [Em7]meadow grass [Am7]on the tide
And the raindrops on my [B7]window
And the ice in my [Am7]drink[B7]
Baby all I can [Am7]think of [B7] is [Em7]Alice[E7]
(Verse 3)
[Am7] 'rithmetic a[B7]rithmetock[Em7]
Turn the hands back [E7]on the clock[Am7]
How does the ocean ro[B7]ck the boat?
[Em7]How did the razor [E7]find my throat?[Am7]
The only strings that [B7]hold me here
Are [Am7]tangled up around the [B7]pier
(Verse 4)
And so a [Am7]secret kiss[B7]
Brings madness [Em7]with the bliss[E7]
And I will [Am7]think of this
When I'm dead in my [B7]grave
Set me a[Em7]drift and I'm [Am7]lost over there
And I must be in[B7]sane
To go skating on your [Am7]name[B7]
And by tracing it [Am7]twice[B7]
I fell through the [Am7]ice[B7]
Of [Em7]Alice
[Am7] There's [B7]only [Em7]Alice
