intro :
F – G – – G C – F A#
G
i was driving across the burning desert
A#
when i spotted six jet planes
C Bm G G4 G
leaving six white vapor trails across the bleak terrain
C G
it was the hexagram of the heavens
Bm Am G
it was the strings of my guitar
F A# F
amelia it was just a false alarm
F – G – – G C – F A#
G
the drone of flying engines
A#
is a song so wild and blue
C Bm G G4 G
it scrambles time and seasons if it gets thru to you
C G
then your life becomes a travelogue
Bm Am G
of picture post card charms
F A# F
amelia it was just a false alarm
F – G – – G C – F A#
G
people will tell you where they’ve gone
A#
they’ll tell you where to go
C Bm G G4 G
but till you get there yourself you never really know
C G
where some have found their paradise
Bm Am G
other’s just come to harm
F A# F
oh , amelia it was just a false alarm
F – G – – G C – F A#
G
i wish that he was here tonight
A#
it’s so hard to obey
C Bm G G4 G
his sad request of me to kindly stay away
C G
so this is how i hide the hurt
Bm Am G
as the road leads cursed and charmed
F A# F
i tell amelia it was just a false alarm
F – G – – G C – F A#
a ghost of aviation
she was swallowed by the sky
or by the sea like me she had a dream to fly
like icarus ascending
on beautiful foolish arms
amelia it was just a false alarm
maybe i’ve never really loved
i guess that is the truth
i’ve spent my whole life in clouds at icy altitude
and looking down on everything
i crashed into his arms
amelia it was just a false alarm
i pulled into the cactus tree motel
to shower off the dust
and i slept on the strange pillows of my wanderlust
i dreamed of 747s
over geometric farms
dreams amelia – dreams and false alarms
