[Verse 1]
G G2 G4 G2
Visions of you dance through my head
G G2 G4 G2
Dark heroine of the books I have read
C D G
Pages torn out, I made up my own world
G G2 G4 G2
Deep in the dream, it's all built to last
G G2 G4 G2
You pull the plug, drain me down fast
C D G
Pop my balloon, I fell from a great high
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em
And I'm tired of wasting life
D C
Searching out going around
D C D G
What became such a false alarm
[Chorus]
Em
'Cause I'm looking for the truth
D C
Not some tired cheap cliché
D C D G
False treasure in a shallow pond

[Verse 2]
G G2 G4 G2
Fireworks blew out the top of your head
G G2 G4 G2
Powder and spark drew me to bed
C D G
Drift with you there down a dark and frozen stream
G G2 G4 G2
I thought I'd found jewel of the Nile
G G2 G4 G2
You're just a shiny rock in my pile
C D G
So many stones, stuck in my shoes
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em
And I know if there's enough
D C
It could make up a road
D C D G
That could lead me far from this town
[Chorus]
Em
'Cause I'm looking for the truth
D C
Not some tired cheap cliché
D C D G
False treasure in a shallow pond
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em
And I'm tired of wasting life
D C
Searching out going around
D C
What became such a false alarm
[Outro]
D C
Just a false alarm
D C
Just a false alarm
D C
Just a false alarm
D C
A false alarm
D C (and repeat...)
G
