Goodbye Alice in Wonderland piano leadsheet with chords

It's four in the afternoon;

I'm on a flight leaving L.

A.,

tryin' to figure out my life,

and my youth scattered along the highway.

Hotel rooms and headlights;

I've made a living with a song,

guitar as my companion, wanting desperately to belong.

Fame is filled with spoiled children,

and we grow fat on fantasy.

I guess that's why I'm leaving;

I crave reality.

So goodbye, Alice in Wonderland;

goodbye, Yellow Brick Road.

There is a diff'rence between dreaming and pretending.

I did not find paradise;

it was only a reflection of my lonely mind wanting what's been missing in my life.

I'm embarrassed to say, the rest is rock 'n' roll cliché.

I hit the bottom when I reached the top.

But I 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 it's completely starved for love.

It can even turn monsters into angels from above.

You forged my love just like a weapon,

and you turned it against me like a knife.

You broke my last heartstring,

but you opened up my eyes.

So life.

Growing up is not an absence of dreaming;

it's being able to understand the diff'rence between the ones you can hold and the ones that you've been sold.

And dreaming is a good thing 'cause it brings new things to life,

but pretending is an ending that perpetuates a lie,

forgetting what you are, seeing for what you've been told,

oh. Truth is stranger than fiction;

this is my chance to get it right.

And life is much better without all of those pretty lies,

oh. So goodbye,

Alice in Wonderland;

and you can keep your

Yellow Brick Road.

There is a diff'rence between dreaming and pretending.

These are not tears in my eyes;

they are only a reflection of my lonely mind finding,

they are only a reflection of my lonely mind finding.

I found what's missing in my life.
