Goodbye Alice in Wonderland
Jewel
Tabbed by KJM030584 Standard Tuning Intro: Its four in the afternoon I’m on a flight leaving L.A. Trying to think about my life My youth scattered along the highway Hotel rooms in headlights I’ve made a living with a song Just a guitar as my companion Wanting desperately to belong Fame is filled with spoiled children They grow fat on fantasy I guess that’s why I’m leaving I crave reality ---------Chorus So goodbye Alice in Wonderland Goodbye yellow brick road There is a difference between dreaming and pretending I did not find paradise It was only a reflection Of my lonely mind searching For what was missing in my life VERSE AND Chorus 2 SAME CHORDS --------------------------------- I’m embarrassed to say The rest is a rock and roll cliché 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 starved for love Can even turn monsters into Angels from above You forged my love like a weapon You turned it against me like a knife You broke my last heart string 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: Dreaming is a good thing Cause it brings new things to life Pretending is an ending That perpetuates a lie Forgetting what you are Seeing for what you’ve been told And growing up is not the answer to dreaming Its being able to understand the difference between The ones you can hold and the ones that you’ve been sold Truth is stranger than fiction This is my chance to get it right Life is much better Without all of your pretty lies So goodbye Alice in Wonderland You can keep your 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 It was only a reflection Of my lonely mind wishing That you were what was missing from my life
