Balloon Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]He [Em]still held my hand
[D]in [Em]his thread
[Eb]His head [Em]filled [Ebdim]with heli[Ebm] um[Ebdim]
[Ebm]Pulled[D] me up so I coul[Dm]dn't walk[Em]
But look [F]at things [Em]from [D]a different
[Abm]angle[Ab]

[Interlude 1]
[Abm][Em]

[Verse 2]
To hang on [Em]to my balloon
And to [F]be shown [Fm]a glimpse of the truth
Made my cheek [G]flush and
my [Am]mouth [D]smile
[Em]My c[D]hest's like a cage full of butterflies
It [Bm]tickled [Em]and I[Bm] laugh[B]:[Em][Eb]
[Em]"such [Eb]a ra[Edim]re, rare[C#dim] joy"
[Em][Eb][Em][Eb][Em]

[Verse 3]
Suddenly the balloon loosened itself,
he said:
"I [D]have to move further [Eb]on,
[D]I'll kee[C]p on fly[Cm] ing
Keep on [Em]showing [Eb]the truth from my
[C#]point [C#dim]of view,"[Dm][D][Dm][D][Em][C]

[Verse 4]
[C]I f[F]ell d[C]own on a[F]
cottonpavement painted blue
And I lost [Em]the sight,
lost the [Eb]moment and my [D]view
The only thing that I knew:
Moments [Em]will [Eb]swift[Cm]ly[Ebdim][Em]
disap[Eb]pear
