 Its four  in the afternoon
 I'm on a flight  leaving LA
Trying  to think about  my life
 My youth  scattered along the highway
Hotel  rooms in headlights
I've  made a living with a song
 Just a guitar  as my companion
 Wanting desperately  to be loved
Fame  is filled with spoiled  children
They  grow fat  on fantasy
I  guess that's why I'm leaving
I  crave reality
 ---vvv---Chorus
 So goodbye Alice  in Wonderland
 Goodbye  yellow brick road
There  is a difference  between dreaming  and pretending
 I did not find paradise
 It was only a reflection
 Of my lonely mind searching
 For what was missing in my life
 VERSE AND CHORUS 2 SAME CHORDS
 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
------------^^^^^----------------
Dreaming  is a good thing
 Cause it brings  new things to life
Pretending  is an ending
 That perpetuates  a lie
Forgetting  what you are
Seeing  for what you've been told
And  growing up is not the answer  to dreaming
 Its being  able to understand  the difference between
 The ones  you can hold and the ones  that you've been sold
Truth  is stranger than fiction
 This is my  chance to get it right
Life  is much better
 Without  all of your pretty lies
 So goodbye Alice  in Wonderland
 You can keep  your 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
 It was only a reflection
Of  my lonely mind  wishing
 That you were what was missing from my life
