(Primeira Parte)
 
Em                                         G 
  The treetops, the chimneys, the snowbed stories, 
       Em                                          Cm 
winter grey, wildflowers, those meadows of heaven, wind in the wheat 
Em                                       G             Em 
  a railroad across waters, the scent of grandfatherly love 
                                       Cm 
Blue bayous, Decembers, moon through a dragonfly's wings. 


Am 
Where is the wonder? Where's the awe? 
                            Em     Am 
Where's dear Alice knocking on the door? 
                          F 
Where's the trapdoor that takes me there 
         C                      G 
were the real is shattered by a Mad Marsh Hare. 


Em 
Where is the wonder? Where's the awe? 
                                 Am           Em 
Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for? 
           C 
Before the years take me, 
  G               D 
I wish to see the lost in me. 



(Pós-Refrão)
 
Em  Em  D  Em  C      D        Em 
           I Want My Tears Back! 
Em  Em  Am  Em C      D             Em 
           I want my tears back now!

(Segunda Parte)
 
Em                                   G          Em 
  A ballet on a grove, still growing young all alone. 
                                        Cm 
A rag doll, a best friend, the voice of Mary Costa. 


Am 
Where is the wonder? Where's the awe? 
                            Em     Am 
Where's dear Alice knocking on the door? 
                          F 
Where's the trapdoor that takes me there 
         C                      G 
were the real is shattered by a Mad Marsh Hare. 


Em 
Where is the wonder? Where's the awe? 
                                    Am           Em 
Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for?   
              C                                               
Before the years take me,  
  G               D 
I wish to see the lost in me.

Em  Em  D  Em  C      D        Em

Em  Em  Am  Em C      D             Em 
           I want my tears back now!
