Intro: C G Bm C C G Its four in the afternoon Bm C I'm on a flight leaving LA C G Trying to think about my life Bm C My youth scattered along the highway Am Em Hotel rooms in headlights G D I've made a living with a song Em C Just a guitar as my companion G D Wanting desperately to be loved Em D G Fame is filled with spoiled children Em D G Em They grow fat on fantasy D G I guess that's why I'm leaving D I crave reality ---vvv---Chorus G C D G So goodbye Alice in Wonderland C D Goodbye yellow brick road G C D G There is a difference between dreaming and pretending Em C 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 C D Seeing for what you've been told Em D And growing up is not the answer to dreaming G C Its being able to understand the difference between Bm C D The ones you can hold and the ones that you've been sold Em D G Em Truth is stranger than fiction D G Em This is my chance to get it right D G Life is much better D Without all of your pretty lies G C D G So goodbye Alice in Wonderland C D You can keep your yellow brick road G C D G There is a difference between dreaming and pretending Em C That was not love in your eyes It was only a reflection G D C Of my lonely mind wanting It was only a reflection G D Of my lonely mind wishing C Em(upward strum) That you were what was missing from my life
