Tonality
Am7 B7 Em7 E7



Am7           B7
Itʼs dreamy weather weʼre 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

Am7                     B7
    I disappear in your name
             Em7          E7
But you must wait for me
           Am7
Somewhere across the sea
                     B7
Thereʼs 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

Am7           B7        Em7
  ʼrithmetic 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

         Am7           B7
And so a secret kiss
               Em7            E7
Brings madness with the bliss
           Am7
And I will think of this
                    B7
When Iʼm dead in my grave
        Em7           Am7
Set me adrift and Iʼm 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
    Thereʼs only Alice
