Hot Air Balloon

C                                   F
We wrote a prelude, for our own fairy tale

C               Am                           F
And bought a parachute, at a church rummage sale

C                          Am                   F
And with a mean sewing machine, and miles of thread

C                        Am               F
We sewed the day above L. A. in navy and red.

C                                                  F
We roamed a racetrack, through your mom's kitchen chairs

C                      Am                             F
And fought the shadows back, down your dark basement stairs.

C                         Am                    F
I lit a match and let it catch, to light up the room

C                    Am             F               C
And you yelled as we beheld, an old maroon hot air balloon.

**CHORUS**

C                  F                                       Am
I'll be out of my mind, and you'll be out of ideas pretty soon

C                      F                          C
So let's spend the afternoon, in a cold hot air balloon

C                  F                                             Am
Leave your jacket behind, lean out and touch the tree tops over town

C               F                                        C
I can't wait to kiss the ground, wherever we touch back down.


**VERSE 2**


C                                    F
We drank the great lakes, like cold lemonade

C                     Am                          F
And both got stomach aches, sprawled out in the shade.

C                            Am                          F
Swore to death you held your breath, and I tried not to yawn.

C                              Am                           F
You made my frown turn upside down, and now my worries are gone.


**CHORUS**


C                  F                                       Am

C                      F                          C

C                  F                                       Am
