[Ebm] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ [Ebm] _ _ [Ab] _
[Db] _ [Ebm] It was [Db] sixteen years ago, outside [Eb] an aging [Db] movie show,
[Ebm] I was found [Fm] not knowing where I was [Bbm] that night.
_ _ [Fm]
[Ebm] Not a thing did [Db] I possess, [Eb] but an old blue [Db] king undress,
and [Ebm] a faded [Db] photograph in [Ebm] black and white.
_ Now my memories are [Db] quite clear, even [Eb] if I [Db] still can't hear
[Ebm] all the shrinks [Fm] who said some trauma was [Bbm] to blame.
_ _ [Ebm] Light another [Db] cigarette, [Ebm] breathe in deep, try [Db] to forget
that [Ebm] it's a photograph [Ab] [Db] of Diana and that Alice is [Ebm] my _ _ name.
_ Save me, save me, I've [Ab] lost [Db] my [Ab] memory,
[Ebm] I'm outside [Db] the world [Bbm] looking _ in. _
[Ebm] _ Save me, save me, I'm lost [Db] in the memory,
[Ebm] and I'd [Db] swear I'm a girl that's [Ebm] never been.
_ Now it's all [Db] the life I knew, except [Eb] I know it [Db] can't be true,
[Ebm] I'm not her, [Fm] there's no such thing as _ [Bbm] Wonderland.
_ _ [Ebm] Hold a steady [Db] job somehow, [Eb] three months clean and [Db] sober now,
all [Ebm] the ways I [Db] tried to get back [Ebm] there again. _
Try to move [Ab] on, don't [Db] be sad, so [Ebm] I placed a [Db] personal ad,
I [Ebm] asked why is [Fm] Raven like a writing [Bbm] _ desk?
[Fm] And [Ebm] on the phone, [Db] out of the past, so glad [Eb] he's found me [Db] now at last,
and [Ebm] I'm afraid to [Ab] go [Db] and meet him, but I know my [Ebm] answer's yes.
_ _ Save me, save me, I've [Ab] lost [Db] my [Ab] memory,
[Ebm] I'm [Db] outside the world [Bbm] looking _ _ in.
[Ebm] Save me, save me, I'm lost [Db] in the memory,
[Ebm] and I'd swear [Bbm] I'm a girl that's [Ebm] never _ been.
[Db] Just another city loner [Eb] wearing sunglasses at night,
[Ab] a leather [Db] jacket, purple turtleneck, [Ebm] and blue jeans worn too tight,
[Db] just a rummy by the jukebox in [Eb] a casual [Ebm] curious [Fm] pose,
[Bbm] but I don't know how he knows the things he knows.
[Ebm] Well he sits [Ab] down with [Db] a grin, my [Ebm] little Alice, [Db] where've you been?
Not [Ebm] so little, [Fm] not so Alice, [Bbm] now are you?
_ _ [Ebm] As he sips my [Db] untouched drink, [Ab] I say [Eb] I can't be [Db] who I think he [Ebm] says you are,
[Fm] and you're not, and I [Ebm] am too.
_ Are we [Db] figments of our gin?
[Eb] Are we long lost [Db] orphan kin?
Or [Ebm] the mad [Fm] descendants of a [Bbm] writer's pen?
_ [Ebm] No one's seen [Db] behind their mask, ask [Eb] what you really [Db] want to ask,
[Ebm] and I close my [Db] eyes and whisper, can you take me [Ebm] back _ again?
_ _ Save me, save me, I've lost [Fm] my memory,
[Ebm] I'm outside [Db] the world [Bbm] looking _ in. _
[Ebm] Save me, save me, I'm lost [Db] in the memory,
[Ebm] and I'd swear [Bbm] I'm a girl that's never [Ebm] _ been.
_ Darling Alice, [Ab] so [Db] bereft, [Eb] there's no back, you [Db] never left,
all [Ebm] the rhymes are [Fm] still [Db] there waiting [Bbm] to be sung.
_ [Ebm] And he holds up [Db] in the air [Ab] a [Ebm] little picture [Db] paper square,
[Ebm] slips between my [Fm] lips and underneath [Ebm] my _ tongue.
Shall I tell you [Db] now, Miss Little, [Eb] what's the answer [Db] to the riddle
of [Ebm] the raven [Fm] that you use to [Bbm] send your call?
_ [Fm] He takes [Ebm] the glasses [Db] off to see, [Ebm] yellow cat's [Db] eyes turn on me,
and [Ebm] says it's nothing [Db] like a writing [Ebm] desk at _ all.
Save me, save me, I've [Ab] lost [Db] my [Ab] memory,
[Ebm] I'm outside [Db] the world [Bbm] looking _ _ in.
[Ebm] _ Save me, save me, I'm lost [Db] in the memory,
[Ebm] and I'd [Ab] swear I'm [Bbm] a girl that's [Ebm] never _ been.
And he faded, [Db] leaving nothing but [Ebm] a grin. _
