It's [Bb] dreamy weather, [Bbm]
we're [C] on
You [Fm] waved your crooked wand
[F] [Bbm] Along an icy pond, with a frozen [C] moon
The murder [Fm] of [Bbm] silhouette crows I saw
And the tears on [Fm] my [C] face, and the skates [Bbm] on the pond
[C] They [F] spell [Fm]
Alice
I [F] [Bbm]
disappear in [C] your name
But you [Fm] must wait for me
[F] Somewhere [Bbm] across the sea
There's the wreck [Fm] of a [C] ship
Your hair [Fm] is like meadow grass
[Bbm] On the tide
And the rain [Fm] drops on [C] my window
And the ice in [Bbm] my drink
[C]
All I [Bbm] can think of [C]
[Fm] is Alice
[F]
[Bbm] Arithmetic, [C]
arithmetop
[Fm] Turn the hands [F] back on the clock
[Bbm] How does the [C] ocean rock the boat?
[Fm] How does the razor [F] find my throat?
[Bbm] The only [C] strings that hold me here
[Bbm] Are tangled up around [C] the pier
And [Eb]
[Bb] so a [Bbm] secret kiss
[C]
Brings [Fm] madness with a bliss
[F]
And I [Bbm] will think of this
Till [Fm] I'm dead in my [C] grave
You set me [Fm] adrift and I'm [Bbm] lost
Over there
And I must be [Fm] [C] insane
To go skating on your [Bbm] name
[C] And by [Ab] tracing [Bbm] it twice
I [C] fell [Bb] through the [Bbm] eyes [C] [Fm] of Alice
[F] [Bbm]
[C] [Fm]
[F] [Bbm]
[Fm] [C]
And so [Bb] a secret [Bbm] kiss
[C]
Brings [Fm] madness with a bliss
[F]
And I will [Bbm] think of this
When I'm dead in [C] my grave
You set [Fm] me adrift and I'm [Bbm] lost
Over there
And I must be [Fm] [C] insane
To go skating [Bbm] on your name
[C] And by [Ab] tracing [Bbm] it twice
I [C] fell [Bb] through the [Bbm] eyes [F] [C] [Fm]
of Alice
[Bbm] [C] There's only [Fm] Alice
we're [C] on
