F              Gm 
  You and I in a little toy shop, 
        A#                       C 
  Buy a bag of balloons with the money we got, 
  F                    Gm 
  Set them free at the break of dawn, 
      A#          C 
 'Til one by one, they were gone, 
  F                  Gm 
  Back at base, bugs in the software, 
  A#                   C 
  Flash the message, "Something's out there", 
  F              Gm 
  Floating in a summer sky, 
  A# C               A# C 
  99 red balloons go by, 
  G         Am 
  99 dreams I have had, 
     C           D 
  In every one a red balloon, 
  G                      Am 
  It's all over and I'm standin' pretty, 
  C                 D 
  In the dust there was a city, 
     G              Am 
  If I could find a souvenir, 
  C                 D 
  Just to prove the world was here, 
  G             Am 
  Here it is, a red balloon, 
    C                D 
  I think of you and let it go, 
  C    Dm        Am      G F        
         It's a mystery, 
  C    Dm        Am      G F 
         It's a mystery, (and you're the one) 
  C    Dm        Am      G F 
         It's a mystery, 
  C    Dm        Am      G F 
         It's a mystery, 
  C              Dm
