Red Balloons - Katie Melua

INTRO
(C majorC G+G D MajorD) x 3

VERSE
G+G
I put my heart in a red balloon
G7G7
But I let it go too soon
FF
Let it go on the boulevard
C majorC
Where wicked winds blow so hard

D MajorD					C majorC
Maybe had I looked up I would have seen that

CHORUS
    G+G
The sky is full of red balloons
	           C majorC
Red balloons are full of broken hearts
D MajorD				 E minorEm
Broken hearts are floating by a chance

C9C9	    G+G
Will they burst or drift
     D MajorD
Into arms
	  C9C9	    G+G
Will they burst or drift
     D MajorD
Into arms

VERSE
G+G
I put my voice in a red balloon
G7G7
For you it sang too many tunes
FF
Haunted by those melodies
C majorC
I let it go with the breeze

Maybe had I looked up I would have seen that

To watch you with the light of the moon,

C majorC	D MajorD 	E minorEm
But seeing you holding hands
	E minorEm	D MajorD 	C majorC
With another girl and making plans
