Standard Tuning    
  
Intro:  D   A   C#m   D  

    D           A  
Its four in the afternoon  
         C#m              D  
I'm on a flight leaving L.A.  
D                A  
Trying to think about my life  
   C#m                          D  
My youth scattered along the highway  
  
  
Bm             F#m  
Hotel rooms in headlights  
A                         E  
I've made a living with a song  
       F#m                 D  
Just a guitar as my companion  
        A                 E  
Wanting desperately to belong  
  
  
F#m  E               A            
Fame is filled with spoiled children  
F#m        E         A    F#m  
They grow fat on fantasy  
E                      A  
I guess that's why I'm leaving  
E  
I crave reality  
  
  
---------Chorus  
   A   D   E        A     
So goodbye Alice in Wonderland  
    D                E  
Goodbye yellow brick road  
A          D                  E            A  
There is a difference between dreaming and pretending  
               F#m        D  
I did not find paradise  
                           A  
It was only a reflection  
                  E  
Of my lonely mind searching  
                           F#m 
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: F#m  E  A D C#m D E    
F#m  
Dreaming is a good thing  
         E  
Cause it brings new things to life  
A  
Pretending is an ending  
     D  
That perpetuates a lie  
C#m  
Forgetting what you are  
D                           E  
Seeing for what you've been told  
F#m                        E  
And growing up is not the answer to dreaming  
    A                  D  
Its being able to understand the difference between  
    C#m                        D                     E  
The ones you can hold and the ones that you've been sold  
  
  
F#m   E                 A          F#m  
Truth is stranger than fiction  
        E                   A      F#m  
This is my chance to get it right  
E            A  
Life is much better  
    E     
Without all of your pretty lies  
  
  
   A   D   E        A  
So goodbye Alice in Wonderland  
        D                      E  
You can keep your yellow brick road  
A          D                  E            A  
There is a difference between dreaming and pretending  
                          F#m     D  
That was not love in your eyes  
D  
It was only a reflection  
A                 E           D  
Of my lonely mind wanting  
D 
It was only a reflection  
A            E  
Of my lonely mind wishing  
E                                       A        F#m 
That you were what was missing from my life
