[Verse 1]
GAlice, Alice I'm well aEmware
There are some Cstrange things where you Dlive
And I won't Ggo there
GDown which hallway and through which door
EmWhat's this wonderland here for?
CTurn my cards, qDueen of hearts, as Gyou go there
[Verse 2]
GBusy busy busy bees
EmThese humans are such mysteries
CFloating around and never Dknowing what they Gwant
GSo go forth, go forth with your morning, dEmear
CWith the sun's arms on your back and the Dlove that you left beGhind
[Verse 3]
GFirst of all, it was the year of the boar
EmAnd he greeted you with horns on your passenger door
In the Cmiddle of the traffic on the morDning of our full mGoon
GFleeing into the coffee fields
EmI'm dragging guilt, tied to my heels
CMy friend is coming and
Dhe means to reckon to mGe
[Chorus]
GFavor his hands, blackened by fire
EmFavor our tempers and boyish desires
CThere's a reason that you came to Dme lucidly in my slGeep
GCaught in the flow I just did what I do
EmI worked with my karma and over time too
CThere's a reason that you came to me lDucidly in my sGleep, hmEmmmm
[Bridge]
I am no cowCard
You're supeGrhuman
Tapped into Dpower
EmWooohooo
The load is hCeavy
Will you be rGeady?
When the giants Dcome
I will be tGhere
[Verse 4]
G"You'll get yours" came out of my mEmouth
CTo the man who bound my hands
DI began to scream and I began to shGout
GSir, I know I've done many terrible things
EmAnd I'm concerned to finally find me in my dreams
CSuch bad behavior
DI am not the saGme
[Verse 5]
GI meet all my rage disguised as a man,
EmAn angel appeared with a briefcase in hand
CDidn't speak when he reached, he just hDeld me like you hold someone you lGove
GCradled I wept right out of my slumber
EmWriting it down, this is what I remember
C"There's a reason that you came to me lucDidly in my slGeep" mmEmmhmm
[Bridge]
I am no cCoward
You're superGhuman
Tapped into pDower, whoEmohooo
The load is Cheavy
Will you be Gready?
When the giants cDome... 
I will be thGere
I will be thEmere
I will be thCere
I will be thDere, when the giants coGme
(When the giants come)
When the giants Emcome
 (When the giants come)
I will be tChere, I will be thDere when the giants coGme
 (When the giants come)
When the giants cEmome
 (When the giants come)
I will be thCere, I will be thDere when the giants coGme
 (When the giants come)
When the giants cEmome
 (When the giants come)
I will be thCere, I will be thDere when the giants coGme
 (When the giants come)
When the giants cEmome
 (When the giants come)
I will be thCere, I will be thDere when the giants coGme
 (When the giants come)
When the giants cEmome
 (When the giants come)
I will be thCere, I will be thDere when the giants coGme...
[Outro]
GAlice, Alice I'm well aEmware
There are some sCtrange things where you lDive
And I have been tGhere.

Chords in this song · guitar

[Verse 1]

G Em

Alice, Alice I'm well aware

C D

There are some strange things where you live

And I won't go there

Down which hallway and through which door

What's this wonderland here for?

C D G

Turn my cards, queen of hearts, as you go there

[Verse 2]

Busy busy busy bees

These humans are such mysteries

C D G

Floating around and never knowing what they want

G Em

So go forth, go forth with your morning, dear

C D G

With the sun's arms on your back and the love that you left behind

[Verse 3]

First of all, it was the year of the boar

And he greeted you with horns on your passenger door

C D G

In the middle of the traffic on the morning of our full moon

Fleeing into the coffee fields

I'm dragging guilt, tied to my heels

My friend is coming and

D G

he means to reckon to me

[Chorus]

Favor his hands, blackened by fire

Favor our tempers and boyish desires

C D G

There's a reason that you came to me lucidly in my sleep

Caught in the flow I just did what I do

I worked with my karma and over time too

C D G Em

There's a reason that you came to me lucidly in my sleep, hmmmm

[Bridge]

I am no coward

You're superhuman

Tapped into power

Wooohooo

The load is heavy

Will you be ready?

When the giants come

I will be there

[Verse 4]

G Em

"You'll get yours" came out of my mouth

To the man who bound my hands

D G

I began to scream and I began to shout

Sir, I know I've done many terrible things

And I'm concerned to finally find me in my dreams

Such bad behavior

D G

I am not the same

[Verse 5]

I meet all my rage disguised as a man,

An angel appeared with a briefcase in hand

C D G

Didn't speak when he reached, he just held me like you hold someone you love

Cradled I wept right out of my slumber

Writing it down, this is what I remember

C D G Em

"There's a reason that you came to me lucidly in my sleep" mmmhmm

[Bridge]

I am no coward

You're superhuman

D Em

Tapped into power, whoohooo

The load is heavy

Will you be ready?

When the giants come...

I will be there

D G

I will be there, when the giants come

(When the giants come)

When the giants come

(When the giants come)

C D G

I will be there, I will be there when the giants come

(When the giants come)

When the giants come

(When the giants come)

C D G

I will be there, I will be there when the giants come

(When the giants come)

When the giants come

(When the giants come)

C D G

I will be there, I will be there when the giants come

(When the giants come)

When the giants come

(When the giants come)

C D G

I will be there, I will be there when the giants come

(When the giants come)

When the giants come

(When the giants come)

C D G

I will be there, I will be there when the giants come...

[Outro]

G Em

Alice, Alice I'm well aware

C D

There are some strange things where you live

And I have been there.
