Goodbye Alice In Wonderland Chords

Goodbye Alice in Wonderland ~ Jewel
Standard Tuning Capo 2
This transcription is based off her solo guitar performance found here: https://youtu.be/ADudk-wSofA
 
Generally this is played with a pick/strum pattern where she picks the base notes first then strums the rest
of the chord sans the base note. She varies a double-pick and single pick throughout. It is this pick stum
that makes the use of the slash chords sound right. The D/F# slash chord are generally only used in the verses
in the Chorus, she does play it once or twice, but when I play - to my ear - all the choruses should pick the
base note for the regular D.
 
 
[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 figure out my life
   Bm                        C     C/B
My youth scattered along the highway
 
 
Am             Em
Hotel rooms in headlights
G                         D/F#
I've made a living with a song
Em                 C
Guitar as my companion
        G             D/F#
Wanting desperately to belong
 
 
Em  D/F#            G
Fame is filled with spoiled children
Em        D/F#      G    Em
They grow fat on fantasy
D/F#                   G
I guess that's why I'm leaving
D/F#
I crave reality
 
 
[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
I did not find paradise
C
  It was only a reflection
      G           D
Of my lonely mind wanting
                       Cadd9
Whats was missing in my life
 
 
C
 I'm embarrassed to say
    G
The rest is a rock and roll cliché
          Bm                        C
I hit the bottom when I reached the top
C
  But I never knew it was you
G
 Who was breaking my heart
Am
 I thought you had to love me
            G
But you did not
Am                 Em
  Yes, a heart can hallucinate
G                     D/F#
 When it's completely starved for love
Am                 Em
  It can even make monsters into
G           D/F#
Angels from above
Em  D/F#            G
You forged my love like a weapon
Em  D/F#            G
And you turned it against me like a knife
Em  D/F#            G
You broke my last heart string
D/F#
    But you opened up my eyes
 
[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
That was not love in your eyes
C
 It was only a reflection
      G           D
Of my lonely mind wishing
                              Cadd9
For what's been missing in my life
 
 
Em                        D/F#
And growing up is not the absence of dreaming
    G                  C
It's being able to understand the difference between
    Bm                        C                     D
The ones you can hold and the ones that you've been sold
 
Em
And dreaming is a good thing
          D/F#
'Cause it brings new things to life
       G
But 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/F#          G
  Truth is stranger than fiction
Em           D/F#             G      Em
  This is my chance to get it right
D            G
Life is much better
               D/F#
Without all of those pretty lies
 
 
[Chorus]
 
   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
These are not tears in my eyes
C
 They are only a reflection
      G            D
Of my lonely mind finding
C
 They are only a reflection
      G            D
Of my lonely mind finding
                                Cadd9        G
I've found what's missing in my life
