DI'm not a boy, I'm a big, fGat balloon
Flapping in the wDind, Floating over the treetops
On a brGoken string, I've never been tied dAown
To anytGhing 
Because I'm fDree
I suppGose
I can gDo
Where I want to Ggo
I dDrift carelessly, On a sGummer breeze
I bounce above the trDees, I try to be cheerful
But I can fGeel myself, Deflating all the tAime
Up in the sGky.
[CHORUS]
Because ID'm a ballGoon 
ODn a broken stGring
ID'm not attGached to
AnyoDne or anythGing
AnymAore
Oh-oh-oh
Schooby-doo
Tra-la-la
I'm sDad and alone, But you'd nGever know
It to look at Dme, I look ever so happy
Up here bGy myself, But I wish sometimes I lAooked
The way I fGelt
[CHORUS]
Because I'm a balloon 
On a broken string
I'm don't belong to 
Anyone or anything
Anymore
[OUTRO] x4
And I kDnow I look shiny and bouncy
But I'm Gall empty inside
And I worry that Dif I was to just burst suddenly
That nGobody would even notice me

Chords in this song · guitar

D G

I'm not a boy, I'm a big, fat balloon

Flapping in the wind, Floating over the treetops

G A

On a broken string, I've never been tied down

To anything

Because I'm free

I suppose

I can go

Where I want to go

D G

I drift carelessly, On a summer breeze

I bounce above the trees, I try to be cheerful

G A

But I can feel myself, Deflating all the time

Up in the sky.

[CHORUS]

D G

Because I'm a balloon

D G

On a broken string

D G

I'm not attached to

D G

Anyone or anything

Anymore

Oh-oh-oh

Schooby-doo

Tra-la-la

D G

I'm sad and alone, But you'd never know

It to look at me, I look ever so happy

G A

Up here by myself, But I wish sometimes I looked

The way I felt

[CHORUS]

Because I'm a balloon

On a broken string

I'm don't belong to

Anyone or anything

Anymore

[OUTRO] x4

And I know I look shiny and bouncy

But I'm all empty inside

And I worry that if I was to just burst suddenly

That nobody would even notice me
