      G                 Cadd9/G  G
I was driving across the burning desert
       Bb         Ebadd9/Bb Bb
When I spotted six jet planes
        Am7         Gmaj7/B     G                      Cadd9/G  G
Leaving six white vapor trails across the bleak terrain
         C                 Em
Like the hexagram of the heavens
Gmaj7/B                Am7
Like the strings of my guitar
Am7 G F             Bbadd9/F  F
      Amelia, it was just a false alarm
 
    G        Cadd9/G   G
The drone of flying engines
     Bb      Ebadd9/Bb  Bb
Is a song so wild and blue
             Am7      Gmaj7/B        G                 Cadd9/G G
It scrambles time and seasons if it gets through to you
          C              Em
Then your life becomes a travelogue
Gmaj7/B                   Am7
Full of picture post card charms
Am7 G F             Bbadd9/F  F
      Amelia, it was just a false alarm
 
G             Cadd9/G   G
People will tell you where they've gone
Bb      Ebadd9/Bb  Bb
They'll tell you where to go
Am7      Gmaj7/B        G                            Cadd9/G  G
But till you get there yourself you never really know
          C                     Em
And where some have found their paradise
Gmaj7/B             Am7
Others just come to harm
Am7 G F             Bbadd9/F  F
      Amelia, it was just a false alarm
 
G             Cadd9/G   G
  I wish that he was here tonight
Bb       Ebadd9/Bb Bb
It's so hard to obey
         Am7       Gmaj7/B      G     Cadd9/G  G
His sad request of me to kindly stay away
   C             Em
So this is how I hide the hurt
       Gmaj7/B    Am7
As the road leads cursed and charmed
  Am7 G F                    Bbadd9/F  F
I tell Amelia it was just a false alarm
 
G           Cadd9/G  G
 A ghost of aviation
       Bb      Ebadd9/Bb Bb
She was swallowed by the sky
          Am7      Gmaj7/B        G    Cadd9/G  G
Or by the sea like me she had a dream to fly
     C            Em
Like Icarus ascending
   Gmaj7/B   Am7
On beautiful foolish arms
Am7 G F           Bbadd9/F  F
      Amelia, it was just a false alarm
 
G            Cadd9/G   G
  Maybe I've never really loved
Bb           Ebadd9/Bb Bb
  I guess that is the truth
              Am7           Gmaj7/B    G          Cadd9/G  G
I've spent my whole life in clouds at icy altitudes
    C                   Em
And looking down on everything
  Gmaj7/B          Am7
I crashed into his arms
Am7 G F             Bbadd9/F  F
      Amelia, it was just a false alarm
 
G                Cadd9/G   G
  I pulled into the Cactus Tree Motel
Bb       Ebadd9/Bb  Bb
  To shower off the dust
              Am7      Gmaj7/B        G       Cadd9/G  G
And I slept on strange pillows of my wanderlust
          C    Em
I dreamed of 747s
     Gmaj7/B   Am7
Over geometric farms
Am7 G F             Bbadd9/F  F
Dreams Amelia, dreams and false alarms
