Alice, take three.
The song is [A#] called Alice.
It was written by Tom Waits and it [Cm] saved my life.
[Em] It's [Am] dreamy weather, [B] we're on.
You [Em] waved your crooked wand [E]
[Am] along an icy pond [F#] with a [B] frozen moon.
A [Em] murder of silhouette [Am] crows I [F#] saw, and the tears [B] on my face.
And the [Am] skates on the pond, [B]
[Em] they spell Alice.
[E] [Am]
I disappear [B] in your name, [Em] but you must wait for [E] me.
Somewhere [Am] across the sea [F#]
is the wreck of [B] a ship.
Your hair is [Em] like meadow grass [Am] on the tide, [F#]
and the raindrops [B] on my window.
And the ice [Am] in my dream,
[B] baby all [Am] I can think of [B] is [Em] Alice.
[E]
[Am] Rhythmic, [B]
[Em] rhythmical.
Turn the [E] hands back on the clock.
[Am] How does the ocean [B] rock the boat?
[Em]
How did the [E] razor find my throat?
[Am] The only strings [B] that hold me here [Am] are tangled up around [B] the feet.
And so [Am] a secret kiss [B] brings [Em] madness with bliss.
[E]
And [Am] I will think of this when I'm dead in [B] my grave.
Set [Em] me adrift and I'm [Am] lost over [F#] there.
And I must [B] be insane to go [Am] skating on your name.
[B] And by tracing [Am] it twice,
[B] I fell [Am] through the ice.
[B] I
[Em]
[E]
[Am] disappear [B] in your name, but you [Em] must wait for [E] me.
Somewhere [Am] across the sea [F#] is the wreck of [B] a ship.
Your hair is [Em] like meadow grass [Am] on the tide, and the [B] raindrops on my window.
And the ice [Am] in my dream,
[B] baby all [Am] I can think [B]
of [Em] is Alice.
