Verse 1:
         D
On the first day that we met,
           Gbm
I saw you dance without a net.
    Bm
You took me through the steps,
        G
I was willin' to try with you.
 
Verse 2:
         D
I found silence in the loudest part,
         Gbm
'Cause you're the one that took my heart.
         Bm
And we talked until the sun came up,
            G                     A 
And in the mornin' light, I found love.
 
Chorus:
        D
And we flew away,
        Gbm
Being pulled away,
        Bm
Didn't know where we were goin',
         G
But our hands just held on tight
          D
And our dreams are like balloons,
         Gb7
Oh, you lose them far too soon.
         Bm A  D    Gbm G 
We tried everything we know,
                            D
Before letting the last one go.
 
Interlude: D Gbm Bm G A
 
Verse 3:
          D
What was then may not be now,
         Gbm
I still lay my whole life down.
        Bm
I will wear this broken crown,
      G
And shoulder all the faults.
 
Verse 4:
          D
But make no mistake, my love was clear.
Gbm
Never doubt the way I feel.
   Bm
I know I'm far from a perfect man,
        G
But I really tried when it all began.
 
Chorus:
        D
And we flew away,
       Gbm
Being pulled away,
        Bm
Didn't know where we were goin',
         G
But our hands just held on tight.
         D
And our dreams are like balloons,
         Gb7
Oh, you lose 'em far too soon.
         Bm A  D    Gbm G
We tried everything we know,
                            D
Before letting the last one go.
 
Bridge:
               Bm
We watched it float away,
               G
Carryin' our yesterday,
     Bm   A     D  Gbm G 
But some things never fade.
 
Chorus:
        D
And we flew away,
        Gbm
Being pulled away,
        Bm                       G
Didn't know where we were goin'.
        D
And we flew away,
       Gbm
Being pulled away,
        Bm
Didn't know where we were goin',
          G
But our hands just held on tight.
          D
And our dreams are like balloons,
          Gb7
Oh, you lose 'em far too soon.
         Bm A  D    Gbm G
We tried everything we know.
 G
Yeah.
         Bm A  D    Gbm G 
We tried everything we know,
                             D 
Before letting the last one go.
