[Verse 1]
[D]You and I in a [Em]little toy shop
Buy a [G]bag of balloons
with the [A]money we've got
[D]Set them free at the [Em]break of dawn
'Til [G]one by one [A]they were gone
[D]Back at base [Em]bugs in the software
[G]Flash the message [A]"something's out there!"
[D]Floating in the sum[Em]mer sky
[G]Ninety-nine [A]red balloons go by

[D]Ninety-nine [Em]red balloons
[G]Floating in the [A]summer sky
[D]Panic bells, it's [Em]red alert
There's [G]something here from [A]somewhere else
The [D]war machine [Em]springs to life
[G]Opens up one [A]eager eye
[D]Focusing it [Em]on the sky
Where [G]ninety-nine [A]red balloons go

[Verse 5]
[D]Ninety-nine dreams [Em]I have had
In [G]every one a [A]red balloon
[D]It's all over and I'm [Em]standing pretty
[G]In this dust that was[A] a city
If [D]I could find a s[Em]ouvenir
[G]Just to prove the [A]world was here
[D]And here is a [Em]red balloon
I [G]think of you, and [A]let it go
