Verse 1:
E A
Runnin' for my life
C#m
While I'm bleeding out my eyes
E A
And my teeth start feelin' loose
C#m
Watch them fall right from the roots
E A
While my flesh starts to decay
C#m
And my soul disintegrates
E A C#m
Now my body can inflate and float away
N.C.
To a better place
Chorus:
E A
I'm here for the ride
C#m
Like a balloon in the sky
E A
Watch me float up way too high
C#m
You won't see me in your life
E A
I'm here for the ride
C#m
Like a balloon in the sky
E A
Watch me blow up and I'm lost
C#m
But I'm goin' where I want
Verse 2:
E A
I'm floatin' away
I'm goin'
C#m E
I'm floatin' away today
I know it
A
I'm floatin' away
I'm goin'
C#m E
I'm floatin' away today
I know it
A C#m
Watch me float away (Float on)
E
I'ma float away (Fly off)
A C#m
Watch me fly away
N.C.
To a better place
Chorus:
E A
I'm here for the ride
C#m
Like a balloon in the sky
E A
Watch me float up way too high
C#m
You won't see me in your life

I'm here for the ride

Like a balloon in the sky
E A
Watch me blow up and I'm lost
C#m
But I'm goin' where I want
