[F][Bb]

[Verse 1]
I was [G]driving [C]across the burning [G]desert
When I [Bb]spotted [Eb]six jet p[Bb]lanes
Leaving six [Am]white va[Bm]por trails,
across the [G]bleak ter[C]rain
It was the hexagram of the [Em]heavens
It was the [Bm]strings of my gui[Am]tar[G]
A[F]melia, it was just [Bb]a false alarm
[F][Bb][F][C]

[Interlude 1]
[Dm][C]
[F][Bb][F][C]
[Dm][C][F][Bb]

[Verse 2]
The [G]drone [C]of flying [G]en gines
Is a [Bb]song [Eb]so wild and bl[Bb]ue
It scrambles [Am]time and [Bm]seasons
If it gets [G]through to [C]you
Then your life becomes a [Em]travelogue
[Bm]Of picture postcards[Am] charms
[G]Oh, A[F]me lia, it was just a [Bb]false alarm
[F][Bb][F][C]

[Interlude 2]

[F][Bb][F][C]
[Dm][C][F][Bb]

[Verse 3]
[G]People wil[C]l tell you whe[G]re they've gone
[Bb]They'll tell you w[Eb]here to go[Bb]
But 'til you get [Am]there [Bm]yourself
You never [G]really [C]know
Where some have found their [Em]paradise
[Bm]Others just come to [Am]harm
[G]Oh, A[F]melia, it was just [Bb]a false alarm
[F][Bb][F][C]

[Interlude 3]
[Dm][C]
[F][Bb][F][C]
[Dm][C][F][Bb]

[Verse 4]
[G]I wish that he [C]was here tonig[G]ht
[Bb]It's so hard[Eb] to obey[Bb]
His sad re[Am]quest of [Bm]me,
to kindly [G]stay a[C]way
So this is how I [Em]hide the hurt
As the [Bm]road leads [Am]cursed and charmed
I [G]tell A[F]melia, [Bb]it was just a false alarm
[F][Bb][F][C]

[Interlude 4]
[Dm][C]
[F][Bb][F][C]
[Dm][C][F][Bb]

[Verse 5]
A [G]ghost of [C]a v[G]iation
She was [Bb]swallowed [Eb]by the sky[Bb]
Or by the [Am]sea, like me,
[Bm]she had a drea[G]m to f[C]ly
Like Icarus as[Em]cending
On [Bm]beautiful [Am]foolish [G]arms
A[F]melia, [Bb]it was just a false alarm
[F][Bb][F][C]

[Interlude 5]
[Dm][C]
[F][Bb][F][C]
[Dm][C][F][Bb]

[Verse 6]
[G]Maybe I'v[C]e vever rea[G]lly loved
[Bb]I gu[Eb]ess that is the tru[Bb]th
I've spent my [Am]whole life in [Bm]clouds,
at icy [G]alti[C]tude
And looking down on [Em]everything
I [Bm]crashed into his [Am]arms[G]
[F]Amelia, it was just a f[Bb]alse alarm
[F][Bb][F][C]

[Interlude 6]
[Dm][C]
[F][Bb][F][C]
[Dm][C][F][Bb]

[Verse 7]
I [G]pulled into the [C]Cactus [G]Tree Motel
[Bb]To shower of[Eb]f the dust[Bb]
And I slept [Am]on the strange p[Bm]illows,
of my [G]wonder[C]lust
I dreamed of 7 I [Em]47 s
Over [Bm]geometric [Am]farms
[G]Dreams, [F]Amelia, dre[Bb]ams,
and false a[F]larms[Bb][F][C]
