Chords

[Intro] A#m x2
A#m 
She walks around... with a pink balloon...

           Fm                D#m                         A#m 
And if you try take it from her your end will come too soon...

A#m            
She dreams about... her pink balloon...

  Fm                    D#m               A#m 
Carrying her higher and higher up to the moon...

A#m                     
She ties it to her waist... she ties it to her wrist...

               Fm                    D#m                    A#m 
And if you’re lucky she might let it go for you and make a wish...

G#                          F#
First thing she wakes up... pours herself a cup

G#                           F#
Before she’s out the door... she stops to blow it up

G#                               F#
Sometimes she carries it high... sometimes she carries it low

G#                     F#             G   A#m 
People point at her... and say there she goes
[Solo] A#m Fm D#m A#m
A#m                         
She don’t worry about danger... she don’t worry about doom...

         Fm                         D#m                    A#m 
And she don’t give a damn what you think about her pink balloon...

A#m             
She walks around... with a pink balloon...

           Fm               D#m                         A#m 
And if you try take it from her your end will come too soon... 

A#m         
Pink balloon... she walks around... with a pink balloon...
