[Verse 1]
Am7 B7 It's dreamy weather we're on Em7 E7 You waved your crooked wand Am7 B7 Along an icy pond with a frozen moon Em7 Am7 A murder of silhouette crows I saw B7 And the tears on my face Am7 B7 And the skates on the pond Em7 E7 They spell Alice
[Verse 2]
Am7 B7 I disappear in your name Em7 E7 But you must wait for me Am7 Somewhere across the sea B7 There's a wreck of a ship Em7 Am7 Your hair is like meadow grass on the tide B7 And the raindrops on my window Am7 B7 And the ice in my drink Am7 B7 Em7 E7 Baby all I can think of is Alice
[Verse 3]
Am7 B7 Em7 'rithmetic arithmetock E7 Am7 Turn the hands back on the clock B7 How does the ocean rock the boat? Em7 E7 Am7 How did the razor find my throat? B7 The only strings that hold me here Am7 B7 Are tangled up around the pier
[Verse 4]
Am7 B7 And so a secret kiss Em7 E7 Brings madness with the bliss Am7 And I will think of this B7 When I'm dead in my grave Em7 Am7 Set me adrift and I'm lost over there B7 And I must be insane Am7 B7 To go skating on your name Am7 B7 And by tracing it twice Am7 B7 I fell through the ice Em7 Of Alice Am7 B7 Em7 There's only Alice
