**VERSE 1**
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 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.
**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
I'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 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 treetops over town.
C F Am
I can't wait to kiss the ground, wherever we touch back down.
