False Alarm by Smile Empty Soul
False Alarm
This is a very simple song to play, it uses the same four bar chords throughout
the whole song(F - Ab - Eb - Bb). If you're playing acoustic (or if you just want
to use open chords) you can tune your guitar down a half step and play Em - G - D - A.
Intro, 2 bars
F Ab
Glass shard sticking out of my heart
Eb Bb
Now the summer has subsided for the rain
F Ab
Last time take a look in these eyes
Eb Bb
Spend eternity escaping from the pain
F Ab
Last chance when the hummingbirds dance
Eb Bb
And the river's overflowing on its banks
F Ab
Hold tight when the weather is right
Eb Bb
There's another that awaits to take your place
Break for 2 bars
F Ab
False alarm I could have sworn
Eb Bb
That something else was going on
F Ab
False alarm I could have sworn
Eb
That something else
