We wrote a prelude to our own fairy tale
            
and bought a parachute at a church rummage sale

       
and with a mean sewing machine and miles of thread
             
we sewed the day above L.A. in navy and red
           
we roamed a racetrack through your mom's kitchen chairs
            
and fought the shadows back down your dark basement stairs
   
I lit a match then let it catch to light up the room
            
and then you yelled as we beheld an old maroon hot air balloon

Chorus:

C (x32010@1)              GI'll (320003@1)be out of my mind
         Am (x02210@1)        Fand (133211@1)you'll be out of ideas pretty soon
     C (x32010@1)  G (320003@1)      Am (x02210@1)            Fso (133211@1)let's spend the afternoon in a cold hot air balloon
C (x32010@1)               Gleave (320003@1)your jacket behind 
      Am (x02210@1)              Flean (133211@1)out and touch the tree tops over town
     C (x32010@1)  G (320003@1)     Am (x02210@1)            FI (133211@1)can't wait to kiss the ground wherever we touch back down

Same verse:

We drank the great lakes like cold lemonade
and both got stomach aches, sprawled out in the shade
swore 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

Same Chords for Chorus:

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 tree tops over town
I can't wait to kiss the ground wherever we touch back down

C (x32010@1)              GI'll (320003@1)be out of my mind
Am (x02210@1)                     Fand (133211@1)you'll be out of ideas pretty soon
    C (x32010@1)      G (320003@1)          Am (x02210@1)       Fso (133211@1)let's spend the afternoon in a cold hot air balloon
C (x32010@1)                Gleave (320003@1)your jacket behind 
Am (x02210@1)                   Flean (133211@1)out and touch the tree tops over town
