G C G Bb
I was driving across the burning desert, when I spotted six jet planes
Am Bm G C
Leaving six white vapor trails across the bleak terrain
Em7 Bm Am [Am/C]
It was the hexagram of the heavens, it was the strings of my guitar
F Bb F G C F G Bb
Amelia it was just a false alarm
G C G Bb Am
The drone of flying engines, is a song so wild and blue, it scrambles time
Bm G C Em7
And seasons if it gets thru to you, then your life becomes a travelogue
Bm Am [Am/C] F Bb F G C F G Bb
Of picture post card charms, Amelia it was just a false alarm
G C G Bb
People will tell you where they've gone, they'll tell you where to go
Am Bm G C
But till you get there, yourself you never really know
Em7 Bm Am [Am/C]
Where some have found their paradise, others just come to harm
F Bb F G C F G Bb
Oh, Amelia it was just a false alarm
G C G Bb
I wish that he was here tonight, it's so hard to obey
Am Bm G C
His sad request of me to kindly stay away
Em7 Bm Am [Am/C]
So this is how I hide the hurt, as the road leads cursed and charmed
F Bb F G C F G Bb
I tell Amelia it was just a false alarm
G C G Bb Am
A ghost of aviation, she was swallowed by the sky, or by the sea
Bm G C Em7 Bm Am [Am/C]
Like me she had a dream to fly, like Icarus ascending on beautiful foolish arms
F Bb F G C F G Bb
Amelia it was just a false alarm
G C G Bb Am
Maybe I've never really loved, I guess that is the truth, I've spent my whole life
Bm G C Em7
In clouds at icy altitude, and looking down on everything,
Bm Am [Am/C] F Bb F G C F G Bb
I crashed into his arms, Amelia it was just a false alarm
G C G Bb
I pulled into the Cactus Tree Motel, to shower off the dust
Am Bm G C
And I slept on the strange pillows of my wanderlust
Em7 Bm Am [Am/C]
I dreamed of seven forty sevens, over geometric farms
F Bb F G C F G Bb
