Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]I set a friend of mine up on a date
And I told him I'd watch
his boy for the day
And [G]we had a ball playin' [A]games,
eat[Asus4]in' dogs
[D]Riding rides at the county fair
[A]I thought h[D]e was just being a kid
When we got back to my place
And he did what he did
On a bal[G]loon that he won
He wrote [A]mama I had fun
I [D]missed you and I wished you were there
I [Em]wasn't sure what he had in [A]mind
'Till he [Em]jumped up and ran [A]outside and

[Verse 2]
He let it [G]go, [A]he [Asus4]waved goo[A]dby[D]e,
or was it [G]hello?[A]
I don't know but [D]I died inside
I can still [Bm]see his excitement
Him [A]pointing [D]and smilin'
[A]When it [D]was gone as it could get[G]
He turned and [Em]asked me
[A]You think it's in Heaven
yet?
[D]

[Verse 3]
Well I struggled for [A]something [D]to say
I was too choked [A]up and
Lackin' [D]the kind of faith
he [G]had in his heart
Be[A]fore I could start
He [D]walked me [A]back [D]inside[A]
[Asus4]He gave me h[D]is Crayola pen
[A]Said, I bet[D] there's a message
that you'd like to send
And no [G]doubt he was right
it's been [A]locked
Up inside [D]since Grandpa said goodbye
I [Em]took that yellow balloon
[A]and I wrote[Em]
'Til I ran out of [A]room then

[Verse 4]
I let it [G]go [Asus4]and we[A]
[D]waved goodbye
That seven [G]year [Asus4]old
Lord [A]he opene[D]d my eyes
I can still [Bm]see his excitement
Him [A]pointing and smil[D]in'
[A]When it [D]was gone as it could get[G]
I turned and [Em]asked him
[A]You think it's in Heaven yet?
