Am                        C 
Elevator straight into my skull 
Am                        C 
the escalator rises as it falls 
G                                 F 
i swear our jet is crashing in my mind 
G                                         Em 
you can hold on but i wouldn't waste your time 

F                 Am 
Farewell my black balloon 
F                 F7M 
Farewell my black balloon 

Am                              C 
I've stood in a thousand street scenes 
Am                          C 
just around the corner from you 
G                               F 
on the edge of a dream that you have 
G                                          Em 
has anybody ever told you, it's not coming true? 

F                 Am 
Farewell my black balloon 
F                 A 
Farewell my black balloon 

A             G             D                A 
Ah ah ah ah - ah ah ah ah - ah ah ah ah ah - ah ah ah ah (2x)
