You and I in a little toy shop
      F
buy a bag of balloons with
    G
the money we've got
C               Dm
Set them free at the break of dawn

Til one by one they were gone

Back at base bugs in the software

99 dreams I have had
F                   G
In every one a red balloon
C                     Dm
It's all over and I'm standin' pretty
F                 G
In the dust that was a city
C                  Dm
If I could find a souvenier
F                 G
Just to prove the world was here...
C                 Dm
And here it is, a red balloon
F                  G
I think of you and let it go.
