----------------------------------------------------------------------------- OWL CITY- Hot Air Balloon ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- VERSE 1 C# We wrote a prelude F# Ab To our own fairy tale C# And bought a parachute F# Ab At a church rummage sale C# And with a mean sewing machine F# Ab And miles of thread C# We sewed the day above L.A. F# Ab In navy and red C# We wound a race track F# Ab Through your mom's kitchen chairs C# And fought the shadows back F# Ab Down your dark basement stairs C# I lit a match, then let it catch F# Ab To light up the room C# And then you yelled as we beheld F# C# An old maroon hot air balloon CHORUS C# Ab I'll be out of my mind Bb F# And you'll be out of ideas C# Pretty soon Ab So let's spend Bb F# The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon C# Ab Leave your jacket behind Bb F# C# Lean out and touch the treetops over town Ab I can't wait Bb To kiss the ground F# C# Wherever we touch back down C# Ab Bb F# (4x) VERSE 2 (same as 1st verse) C# We drank the Great Lakes F# Ab 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# Ab I'll be out of my mind Bb 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
