[G]
[C]
[F]
[C] [Dm] [C] [F]
[Bb] [G] I [C] was driving [G] across the burning desert [Bb] when I spotted six jet planes
[C] Leaving [Am] six flight [C] [Bm] bed betrayals [C] [G] across the [C] bleak terrain
It was the hexagram of [Bm] the heavens [C] [G] and the strings [Am] of a guitar
[G] [F] Amelia, [Bb]
it was just a [F] false alarm
The
[C] [Dm] [C] [F]
[C] [Dm] [C]
[F] [Bb]
[G] [C] dune of [G] flying engines [Bb] is a [Eb] song so [Bb] wild and blue
It [Am] scrambles time [G] and seasons if it gets [C] through to you
Then your life becomes [Bm] a travelogue [C] [G] of picture [Am] postcard charms
[G] [F]
Amelia, [Bb] it was just [F] a false alarm
[F] [C] [Dm] [C]
[F] [Bb] [F]
[C] [Dm] [C] [F]
[Bb] [G]
[C] People will [G] tell you where they've gone
[Bb]
And they'll tell you where to go
[C] But till [Am] you get there, [C] [G] yourself, [C] you [G] never really know
[C] And where some have found their [Bm] paradise
[C] [G]
Others just [Am] come to harm
[F] Amelia, [Bb]
it was just a [F] false alarm
A
[C] [Dm] [C] [F]
[Bb] [F] [C]
[F] [Bb]
[G] ghost of aviation
[Bb] She [Eb] was swallowed [Bb] by the sky or [Am] by the sea
[Bm] Like me, [C] she [G] had a dream to fly
[C] Like eagles [Bm] ascending [G] on those beautiful [Am] foolish arms
[G] [F]
Amelia, [Bb] it was just a [F] false alarm
[C]
[F] Maybe [C]
[G] [C] [F]
[Bb] [G] [C] I've never [G] really loved
[Bb] I guess that is the truth
I've [Am] spent my whole life [C]
[G] in clouds, the icy [C] altitudes
And looking down [Bm] on [G] everything, I crashed [Am] into his arms
[G]
[F] Amelia, [Bb] it was just a false [F] alarm
Still [C]
[Dm] [C] [F]
[C] [Dm] [C] [F]
[Bb] [G]
[C] I wish that he was [G] here tonight
[Bb]
[Eb] It's so [Bb] hard to obey his [Am] sad request
[C] [Bm] Of me [Em] to kindly stay [C] away
So this is how [G] I hide the hurt
As the road leads, [Am] cursed and charmed
I [G] [F] tell Amelia, [Bb]
it was just [F] a false alarm
I
[C] [Dm] [C] [F]
[Am]
[Em] [C] [F] [Bb]
[G] [C] fall into [G] the Captain's Street Motel
[Bb] To shower off the dust
[G] And I [Am] slept on the [C] [Bm] strange pillows [C] of [G] my [C] wanderlust
I dreamed of seven [G] finely-slept ones
Over geometric [Am] farms
[G] [F] Dreams, Amelia, [Bb] dreams [F] and false alarms [Bb] [F] Dreams
[C] [Dm] [C] [F] [C]
[G] [F] [Bb]
[F] [G] [C] [Em] [F]
