We wrote a prelude for our own fairy tale
C 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 G
We sewed the day above L A in navy and red
C F
We roamed a racetrack through your mom's kitchen chairs
C 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 G C
And you yelled as we beheld an old maroon hot air balloon
C G F
I'll be out of my mind and you'll be out of ideas pretty soon
C G F Dm C
So let's spend the afternoon in a cold hot air balloon
C G F
Leave your jacket behind lean out and touch the tree tops
C
over town
C G F G C
I can't wait to kiss the ground wherever we touch back down
C F
We drank the great lakes like cold lemonade
C F G
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
G C
gone.
C G F
I'll be out of my mind and you'll be out of ideas pretty soon
C G F Dm C
So let's spend the afternoon in a cold hot air balloon
C G F
Leave your jacket behind lean out and touch the tree tops
C
over town
C G F G C
I can't wait to kiss the ground wherever we touch back down
C G F
I'll be out of my mind and you'll be out of ideas pretty soon
C G F Dm C
So let's spend the afternoon in a cold hot air balloon
C G F
Leave your jacket behind lean out and touch the tree tops
C
over town
C G F G C
I can't wait to kiss the ground wherever we touch back down
