C# F# A#m G# We wrote a prelude to our own fairytale. C# F# A#m G# And bought a parachute at a church rummage sale C# F# A#m G# And with a mean sewing machine and miles of thread C# F# A#m G# We sewed the day above L.A. in navy and red. We wound a racetrack, through your mom's kitchen chairs And fought the shadows back, down your dark basement stairs I lit a match and let it catch, to light up the room And then you yelled as we beheld An old maroon hot air balloon Chorus: C# G# I'll be out of my mind A#m F# C# and you'll be out of ideas pretty soon. G# A#m So let's spend the afternoon F# C# in a cold hot air balloon. G# Leave your jacket behind. A#m F# C# Lean out and touch the tree tops over town. G# A#m F# I can't wait to kiss the ground wherever C# we touch back down. We drank the great lakes 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 make my frown turn upside down And now my worries are gone Chorus - x2 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#m  C#  F#  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
