(This is capo'd on the 2nd fret to match their original key of C#m, my voice is significantly
deeper than theirs so I play this open and a half-step down, just do whatever fits your voice)
[Intro]
Bm (play however long you want)
[Verse 1]
Bm
I know what time is, time is a thief
G A
It'll steal into bed and rob you while you sleep
A Em Bm
And you'll never feel it
Bm
It pulls off the covers, and rifles through your head
G A
Then you'll wait to find you can't remember what you just said
A Em Bm
It happens to everyone
Bm
Just like the father of my father, time stole his mind
G A
And I can't forget that one-fourth of his blood is mine
A Em Bm
I try not to worry
[Chorus]
G
Please don't come for me
Bm
I promise I'll be great
A
Just let me keep what's mine
G
Please don't come for me
Bm A
If you must then just please wait and let me have some time
G D Em
Please don't come for me
A Em A
Mind over matter
Em Bm
when you're as mad as a hatter
[Verse 2]
Bm
It's hard to draw a clear distinction
Bm
Who you are, who you were
G A
Through the looking glass, the past and future begin to blur
A Em Bm
And no-one can blame you
Bm
Well they say the world is what you make it
Bm
You think, speak and breathe
G A
And those rules still apply, stuck in a world of make believe
A Em Bm
You make the best with what you're given
[Chorus]
G
Please don't come for me
Bm
I promise I'll be great
A
Just let me keep what's mine
G
Please don't come for me
Bm A
If you must then just please wait and let me have some time
G D Em
Please don't come for me
A Em A
Mind over matter
Em (Keep playing)
when you're as mad as a hatter
[Outro]

Off with her head, off with her head |

Paint the roses, paint the roses _|

Off with her head, off with her head |

Paint the roses, paint the roses _|
(Alternate between A & B 8 times ending on a single count of A for 17 in total,
or don't, I think the outro doesn't really play well without all the insturments and
vocal accompaniment. I usually play Bm at the end of the 2nd chorus and stop there, but
that's just me, do whatever feels right)
