OWL CITY- Hot Air Balloon
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


VERSE 1
            C#
We wrote a prelude
       F#         G#
To our own fairy tale
             C#
And bought a parachute
      F#             G#
At a church rummage sale

           C#
And with a mean sewing machine
    F#        G#
And miles of thread
             C#
We sewed the day above L.A.
    F#       G#
In navy and red
 
            C#
We wound a race track
             F#             G#
Through your mom's kitchen chairs
                C#
And fought the shadows back
           F#            G#
Down your dark basement stairs

         C#
I lit a match, then let it catch
    F#           G#
To light up the room
              C#
And then you yelled as we beheld
   F#         C#
An old maroon hot air balloon

CHORUS
C#                G#
I'll be out of my mind
    A#                F#
And you'll be out of ideas
        C#
Pretty soon
          G#
So let's spend
    A#              F#
The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon
C#                    G#
Leave your jacket behind
     A#                 F#            C#
Lean out and touch the treetops over town
        G#
I can't wait
   A#
To kiss the ground
     F#                C#
Wherever we touch back down

C# G# A# F# (4x)


VERSE 2  (same as 1st verse)
             C#
We drank the Great Lakes
     F#       G#
Like cold lemonade
And both got stomach aches
Sprawled out in the shade
So bored to death you held your breath
And I tried not to yawn
You made my frown turn upside down
And now my worries are gone

CHORUS
C#                G#
I'll be out of my mind
    A#               F#
And you'll be out of ideas
Pretty soon
So let's spend
The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon
Leave your jacket behind
Lean out and touch the treetops over town
I can't wait
To kiss the ground
Wherever we touch back down

I'll be out of my mind
And you'll be out of ideas
Pretty soon
So let's spend
The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon
Leave your jacket behind
Lean out and touch the treetops over town
I can't wait
To kiss the ground
Wherever we touch back down
