NOTE: This is based on the live version, for the album isn't released yet, so I can't guarantee it fits
the album version, but it sounds right to me this way. Hope you enjoy, Peace <3
EDIT: To match the actual album version, just transpose this up 2 half steps, or play this version with Capo
at the 2nd fret ;)

[Verse]
GA lonely red balloon tied down to his worries
Cdreams of taking flight slowly moving out of sight
Gto a sky of curious blue infinite inviting
Ca prisoner of self doubt he Amwhispers to hEmimself

Emthen maybe I could finally brDeathe
maybe CI could finally Dsee
Emthe bigger picture stDaring back at me

Ggreen is my color sunshiDne's my sky
Fhey hey it's Cgo time it's go time go time
Chey hey I'm ready it's go time gFsus4o time
GA storm goes to the sea towards the lonely red balloon
Cratter tattered ribbon lost it's grip and off he flew
Gtowards the sky of lightning he thundered through and through
Cfireworks like independencAme day EmWhoop dee doo
