Owl City – Hot Air Balloon chords

 **VERSE 1**

C                                   FWe wrote a prelude, for our own fairy tale 

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

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

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

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

**CHORUS** 

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

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

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

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


**VERSE 2**  


C                                    FWe drank the great lakes, like cold lemonade 

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

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

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


**CHORUS** 


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

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

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

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

C                  F                                            AmLeave your jacket behind, lean out and touch the treetops over town. 

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