A5                        C5
Elevator straight into my skull
A5                        C5
the escalator rises as it falls
G5                                 F5
i swear our jet is crashing in my mind
G5                                         E5
you can hold on but i wouldn't waste your time

F5                 A5
Farewell my black balloon
F5                 F5
Farewell my black balloon

A5                              C5
I've stood in a thousand street scenes
A5                          C5
just around the corner from you
G5                               F5
on the edge of a dream that you have
G5                                          E5
has anybody ever told you, it's not coming true?

F5                 A5
Farewell my black balloon
F5                 A5
Farewell my black balloon

A5             G5             D5                A5
