Intro: 

F G G C-F  Bb 

       G 
I was driving across the burning desert 
       Bb 
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                    Bb      F 
Amelia it was just a false alarm 

F G G C-F  Bb 

    G 
The drone of flying engines 
     Bb 
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                    Bb      F 
Amelia it was just a false alarm 

F G G C-F  Bb 

G 
People will tell you where they've gone 
Bb 
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               Bb          F 
Oh, Amelia it was just a false alarm 

F G G C-F  Bb 

G 
I wish that he was here tonight 
Bb 
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               Bb          F 
I tell Amelia it was just a false alarm 

F G G C-F  Bb 

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
