[Verse 1]
B
Visions of you dance through my head
Dark heroine of the books I have read
E F# B
Pages torn out, I made up my own world
B
Deep in the dream, it's all built to last
You pull the plug, drain me down fast
E F# B
Pop my balloon, I fell from a great high
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Abm
And I'm tired of wasting life
F# E
Searching out going around
F# E F# B
What became such a false alarm
[Chorus]
Abm
'Cause I'm looking for the truth
F# E
Not some tired cheap cliché
F# E F# B
False treasure in a shallow pond
B
Alright
(see tab above)
[Verse 2]
B
Fireworks blew out the top of your head
Powder and spark drew me to bed
E F# B
Drift with you there down a dark and frozen stream
B
I thought I'd found jewel of the Nile
You're just a shiny rock in my pile
E F# B
So many stones, stuck in my shoes
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Abm
And I know if there's enough
F# E
It could make up a road
F# E F# B
That could lead me far from this town
[Chorus]
Abm
'Cause I'm looking for the truth
F# E
Not some tired cheap cliché
F# E F# B
False treasure in a shallow pond
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Abm
And I'm tired of wasting life
F# E
Searching out going around
F# E
What became such a false alarm
[Outro]
F# E
Just a false alarm
F# E
Just a false alarm
F# E
Just a false alarm
F# E
A false alarm
F# E
End with these chords as long as you wish. Singing whatever lyrics you can make of what they finish with :)
