[Verse 1]
Am                               G
I grew up seeing things a little differently, appearing
    Em                 G
Disappearing, hardly innocent, nor
Am               Em   G
Tied down to the ground
  Am                                  G
I learned to roll and tumble with the punches
                       Em
Glory in my stripes and spots
         G             Am
Walk by invisible and never make a sound

   F            G                   Am
But heavy is the crown that's always hidden
F             G               Am
Tender is the heart you never see
G                        C            Am                   F                           G
Hard and fast shines the grin that we flash, but there's a vulnerable stripe or two on me
      F                         G
Maybe any place outside of Wonderland
          G       E7
Is not for me, my friend

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

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

[Verse 2]
Am
I have learned to see and hear
G
Everybody loud and clear
        Em                 G
But the truth comes out in riddles that are
Am             Em  G
Safe enough to share
       Am
That's how it is in songs, you see
    G
And stripes always look good on me
Em         G               Am
Whether or not I'm really there (smile hangs in the air)
F               G             Am
But heavy is the burden of the wise ones
F                G                 Am
When no one understands a word they say
    G                        C    Am
The Jabberwock never bothered anyone
    F                           G
But nobody believes him to this day
   F   G       E7
And why should they?

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

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

Am G D/F# F G
(Learn your lesson well x2)

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

Am          G           D/F#        F       G
Ra Da Da Ra Da Ra Da Ra Da Ra Da Ra Da Da Da       (x3)

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