Am Am                               G G
I grew up seeing things a little differently, appearing
Em Em
Disappearing, hardly innocent, nor
Am Am G G Em Em
Tied down to the ground
Am Am G G
I learned to roll and tumble with the punches
Em Em
Glory in my stripes and spots
Am Am
Walk by invisible and never make a sound

F F G G Am Am
But heavy is the crown that's always hidden
F F G G Am Am
Tender is the heart you never see
G G C C Am Am F F G G
Hard and fast shines the grin that we flash, but there's a vulnerable stripe or two on me
F F G G
Maybe any place outside of Wonderland
G G
Is not for me, my friend

[Chorus]
Am Am F F
If I leave my grin behind, remind me
C C
That we're all mad here
G G
And it's okay
Am Am F F
Sun up, sun down the shadows hide me down in
D7 D7 G7 G7
Wonderland, Wonderland, nobody knows the way
C C G G
But if you find it in your dreams, you can
C C Am Am
Find it at your dayjob
C C G G F F
Somewhere south of Hell
Am Am
Take the path to left or right with
G G
Just your gut to guide you
F F G G Em Em Am Am
The story is not for anyone else to tell

[Post-Chorus]
Am Am G G D/F# D/F#
Go down the rabbit hole and out the other side
Am Am G G D/F# D/F#
Can't go home in the middle of the magic carpet ride
Am Am G G D/F# D/F#
You gotta greet the sun before his lovely daughter moon
Am Am G G D/F# D/F#
You can't forsake the journey for the safety of your room
G G F F G G Am Am
Until you learn your les-son well

[Verse]
Am Am
I have learned to see and hear
G G
Everybody loud and clear
Em Em G G
But the truth comes out in riddles that are
Am Am G G
Safe enough to share
Am Am
That's how it is in songs, you see
G G
And stripes always look good on me
Em Em Am Am
Whether or not I'm really there (smile hangs in the air)

F F G G Am Am
But heavy is the burden of the wise ones
F F G G Am Am
When no one understands a word they say
G G C C Am Am
The Jabberwock never bothered anyone
F F G G D7 D7
But nobody believes him to this day, Hey
F F G G Em Em
And why should they?

[Chorus]
Am Am F F
If I leave my grin behind, remind me
C C
We're all mad here
G G
And it's ok
Am Am F F
Sun up, sun down the shadows find me out in
D7 D7 G7 G7
Wonderland, Wonderland, nobody knows the way
C C G G
But if you find it in your dreams
C C Am Am
You can find it at your dayjob
C C G G F F
Somewhere south of Hell
Am Am
Take the path to left or right with
G G
Just your gut to guide you
F F D7 D7 G G Em Em Am Am
The story's not for anyone else to tell

[Post-Chorus]
Am Am G G
Go down the rabbit hole and
D/F# D/F#
Out the other side
Am Am G G
You can't go home in the middle of the
D/F# D/F#
Magic carpet ride
Am Am G G
You gotta greet the sun before his
D/F# D/F#
Lovely daughter moon
Am Am G G
You can't forsake the journey for the
D/F# D/F#
Safety of your room
G G F F G G Am Am
Until you learn your lesson well

[Verse]
Am Am G G D/F# D/F# F F G G
Is it the stripes or the spots you see?
Am Am G G D/F# D/F# F F G G
Was it hearts or diamonds, babe, that led you here to me?
Am Am G G D/F# D/F# F F G G
Darling, you know better than to trust a pack of cards!
Am Am
What have we learned
G G D/F# D/F# F F G G Am Am
The world is never as mad as it could be

[Bridge]
Am Am G G D/F# D/F# F F G G
Ra Da Da Ra Da Ra Da Ra Da Ra Da Ra Da Da Da (3x)

[Outro]
Am Am F F
If I leave my grin behind, remind me
C C
We're all mad here
E7 E7 Am Am
And it's o---k!
