[Intro]
Em-Em-D-Em- 
                        I Want My Tears Back!

[Instrumental]
Em--G-D
Em--G-Am-C-Bm (2x)

Em-D-Em-G-D

[Verse 1]
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.

[Chorus]
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.

[Chorus 2]
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.

[Post-Chorus]
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!

Em--G-D
Em--G-Am-C-Bm

[Verse 2]
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.

[Chorus]
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.

[Chorus 2]
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. (2x)

[Post-Chorus]
Em-Em-D-Em C           D             Em
