[Intro] C Am G Am [Verse 1]
  G        C
I saw them sittin' with their legs crossed in the backyard

             Am                    G     Am
The kids had magic markers writin' on balloons

     G       C
They let one go and watched it sail above the treetops

     Am                       G           Am
So I went outside to see what they were doin'
[Pre-Chorus]
G           F                               G
They said, "Daddy, we been sendin' notes to Grandpa"

       F                                    G
I just smiled sat down and said, "Mind if I join y'all?"
[Chorus]
              F
We wrote, "We miss you and we love you"

         G
Told him things are great down here

              F
We spelled it out and sent it up

       G               Am
And we watched it disappear

    G       F                           G
Sometimes I guess you gotta see it to believe it

                               Am                    G       F
'Cause right then I knew those blue sky prayers were gettin' through

       Am                 G        C
We let go of those heaven bound balloons
[Verse 2]
  G       C
Before we knew I swear we'd made at least a dozen

        Am                      G        Am
One for everyone we wished were here but wasn't

G           F                              G
There was a red one for our Labrador named Rio

      F                                G
And a blue one to Ms. Ruth who used to live just down the road
[Chorus]
              F
We wrote, "We miss you and we love you"

         G
Told him things are great down here

              F
We spelled it out and sent it up

       G               Am
And we watched it disappear

    G       F                           G
Sometimes I guess you gotta see it to believe it

                               Am                    G       F
'Cause right then I knew those blue sky prayers were gettin' through

       Am                 G        C
We let go of those heaven bound balloons

        Am    G  F
Whoa-oh-oh

        Am    G  F
Whoa-oh-oh

G       Am    G  F    G
Whoa-oh-oh
[Bridge]
        F                                  G
Yeah, I know that I'll be sittin' up there someday

         F                           G
Don't forget to send a couple of 'em my way
[Chorus]
              F
Say, "We miss you and we love you"

        G
Tell me things are great down here

              F
Just spell it out and send it up

    G             Am
And watch it disappear

    G       F                           G
Sometimes I guess you gotta see it to believe it

                               Am                    G       F
'Cause right then I knew those blue sky prayers were gettin' through

       Am                 G        F
We let go of those heaven bound balloons

    Am                 G        C
Let go of those heaven bound balloons

        Am     G  C
Whoa-oh-oh
