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
