Chords
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
