Key: D
Introduction:
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???
Em D GCBmCD
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
That you were what was missing from my life
