Chords with lyrics
Verse:
DsusDsus
I set a friend of mine up on a date
And I told him I'd watch his boy for the day
G+G 
A augmentedA
And we had a ball playing games, eating dogs
DsusDsus
Riding rides at the county fair
I thought he was just being a kid
When we got back to my place and he did what the did
G+G A augmentedA
On a balloon that he won he wrote mommy I had fun
DsusDsus
And I missed you and I wished you there
E minorEm A augmentedA E minorEm A augmentedA
I wasn't sure what he had in mind till he jumped up and ran outside
G+G A augmentedA 
D MajorD
And he let it go, and he waved good-bye
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
Or was it hello, I don't know but I died inside
B minorBm A augmentedA
I can still see his excitement in pointing and smiling
D MajorD G+G
When it was gone as it could get
E minorEm
And he turned and asked me,
A augmentedA
Think it's in heaven yet

I struggled for something to say
I was too choked up lacking the kind of faith
G+G A augmentedA DsusDsus
He had in his heart before I could start he walked me back inside
He gave me his crayola pen and said I'll bet there's a message
G+G
That you'd like to send, and no doubt he was right
A augmentedA DsusDsus
It been locked up inside since my grandpa said good-bye

I took that yellow balloon and wrote till I ran out of room

And I let it go, and we waved good-bye

That seven-year old Lord he opened my eyes

I can still see his excitement in pointing and smiling

When it was gone as it could get

Then I turned and asked him
A augmentedA
Think it's in heaven yet
