G5                        Eb5
Elevator straight into my skull
    G5                    Eb5
The escalator rises as it falls
  F5                              Eb5
I swear our jet is crashing in my mind
        F5                                G5
You can hold on but I wouldn't waste your time

[Chorus]
 Eb5                 G5
Farewell my black balloon
 Eb5                 G5
Farewell my black balloon

[Verse 2]
G5                              Eb5
I've stood in a thousand street scenes
G5                         Eb5
Just around the corner from you
 F5                          Eb5
On the edge of a dream that you have
 F5                                       G5
Has anybody ever told you it's not coming true

Eb5                 G5
Farewell my black balloon
Eb5                     G5
Farewell my black balloon, the weather had it's way with you
Eb5                      G5
Farewell my black balloon, the weather had it's way with you
Eb5                  F5
Farewell my black balloon

[Instrumental]
G5 F5 G5 F5 then to end
