Intro: C F C F



                   C (Hit chords once)            F 
And I watched the Atlantic Ocean rise to meet New York
           C                                  F 
And everyone involved got way too scared that life was way too short
       Dm                                     F      G        C (light strum )
And we all sang songs about things we'd take back if given the chance, 
       F
Again


              C                               F
And I'd never seen the sky a sadder shade of gray
              C                                       F
And I thought about the words I told you and others I forgot to say
         Dm                         F
So just tell me that you'll hold my hand
            Dm                        F     G
We'll stand together here in New York sand



                     C                           G/B    
Cause we're all just chasing red balloons as our sky falls to the ground
        Bb                     F                G
And the ocean rises up and you refuse to make a sound
     C                        G/B
And everybody falls and then sways as if to beats
 Bb                              F            G                   C     F C F
Except for you and me, we've got promises to keep here on Lucky Street



        C (palm mute)                  F
So many faces that I'd hope to soon forget
                 C                                       F
They're all just pushing and kicking and screaming in a panicked mournful fit
           Dm                          F
Everyone's fighting for just north of here
                Dm                    F (open up)  G
But you're just south and baby I'm so scared



                     C                           G/B    
Cause we're all just chasing red balloons as our sky falls to the ground
        Bb                     F                G
And the ocean rises up and you refuse to make a sound
     C                        G/B
And everybody falls and then sways as if to beats
 Bb                              F            G                   C     F C F
Except for you and me, we've got promises to keep here on Lucky Street



                     C  (hit once)               G/B  
Cause we're all just chasing red balloons as our sky falls to the ground
        Bb                   F           
And the ocean rises up, the ocean rises up

 
                     C                           G/B    
Cause we're all just chasing red balloons as our sky falls to the ground
        Bb                     F                G (strum )
And the ocean rises up and you refuse to make a sound
     C                        G/B
And everybody falls and then sways as if to beats
 Bb                              F            G                   C     F C F
Except for you and me, we've got promises to keep here on Lucky Street
