[Fm] It's [Bbm] dreamy weather [C] we're on you [Fm] waved your crooked wand
[F]
[Bbm] along an icy pond
with the [C] frozen moon
Murder [Fm] of silhouette
[Bbm] crows
I saw
And the [C] tears on my [Db] face
[C] [Db] And the skates on the pond
They [C] [Gm]
spell [Fm] Alice
[Bbm] Disappear in your [E] name, [C] but [Fm] you must wait for me
[Ab] [Bb] Somewhere [Bbm] across the sea
There's the wreck of [Db] a ship
[C] Your hair [Fm] is like meadow grass
[Bbm] on the tide
And [Bb] the raindrops [C] on my window
[Ab] [Bb] And the ice in [Db] my dream
[Bbm] [C]
[Gm] Baby [Db] all I can think of [C]
[Cm] is [Fm] Alice
[Db] Rhythmic [E] [C] arithmetic
[Fm] Turn the hands back on [Db] the [Ab] clock
[Bbm] How does the [C] ocean rock [Cm] the boat?
[Fm]
How did the razor [F] find my throat?
[Bbm] The only [C] strings that hold me here
[Bbm] Are [Db] tangled of rope
Around [E] the pier
[Eb] [C] And so a [Bbm] secret [Ab] kiss
[C]
Brings [Gm] madness [Fm] with the bliss
[A] [Db] And I will think of this
When I'm [C] dead in my [Ab] grave
[C] Set me [Fm] adrift
And I'm [Bbm] lost
[Bb] Over [Bbm] there
And I [C] must be insane I'm lost
[Db] [Ab] [C] To go skating [Bbm] on your name
[C]
And by tracing [Bbm] it twice
[Bb] [Ab] I [Db] fell through the ice
[C] [Fm] Balance

When I'm [C] dead in my grave
Set me [Fm] adrift
And I'm [Bbm] lost Over there
And I must be [E] insane
[C] To go skating [Fm] on your [Bbm] name
