[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
