[D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[E] I was driving across the burning desert when [G] I [C] spotted six [G] jet _ planes
[D] Leaving six white [E] vapor trails across the bleak terrain _ _
It [A] was the hexagram [C#m] of the heavens, it was [G#m] the strings of my [F#m] guitar
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[D] Amelia, it was just false alarm
_ The _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[E] drone of flying _ engines is [G] a [C] song so [G] wild and blue
It scrambles [D] time and [E] the seasons if it gets through [A] to you _
And then your life becomes a [C#m] _
travelogue, [G#m] a picture _ [E] postcard _ [F#m] charm
_ _ [E] _ _ _
[D] _ Amelia, [G] it was just false [D] alarm
_ _ Now _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[E] people [A] will tell [E] you where they've gone, [G] they'll tell you where to go
But [D] till you get there, _ [G#m] yourself [E] you will never really [A] _ know _
_ Where some have found their [C#m] _
[G#m] paradise, _ others just come to [F#m]
harm
_ _ _ _ _ [E] Oh [D] Amelia, _ [G] it was just false [D] alarm
_ I _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[E] wish that she was here tonight, [G] it's [C] so hard [G] to obey _
Her [F#m] sad request of [G#m] [E] me to kindly stay [A] away _ _
_ So this is how I [C#m] hide the hurt [G#m] as the road leads cursed and [F#m] _ _ charmed
_ _ [E] I [D] tell Amelia, _ it was just false alarm _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] A ghost [A] of _ [E] aviation, _ she [C] was swallowed by [G] the sky
Or by [F#m] the sea, like [C#m] me, [G#m] _
[E] she had a dream [A] to fly _ _
_ [E] _ [A] Like _ [E] Icarus [C#m]
ascending _ [G#m] on beautiful foolish [F#m] _ arms
_ [E] _ _ _ _
[D] Amelia, _ it was just false _ alarm
_ Now _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _
[D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[E] maybe I've never really loved, [G] I guess [C] that is [G] the truth
I spent [D] my whole life in [G#m] clouds that I'd [E] see out [A] of view _
And _ looking down [C#m] on everything, [G#m] I crashed into [F#m] her _ arms
_ _ [E] _ _
[D] Oh Amelia, _ it was [G] just false [D] alarm
_ I _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[G] _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[E] pulled into the cactus tree, my dear, [G] to shower off the dust _
And I [D] slept on the strange [E] pillows of my _ _ wanderlust _
_ I dreamed [A] of _ _ _ [C#m] _
[G#m] 747s, of a _ geometric _
[F#m] _ farm
_ _ _ _ [E]
[D] Dreams, Amelia, _ _ [G] _ dreams, false [D] alarms _ _ _ _ _ _
