D G
I'm not a boy, I'm a big, fat balloon
D
Flapping in the wind, Floating over the treetops
G A
On a broken string, I've never been tied down
G
To anything
D
Because I'm free
G
I suppose
D
I can go
G
Where I want to go
D G
I drift carelessly, On a summer breeze
D
I bounce above the trees, I try to be cheerful
G A
But I can feel myself, Deflating all the time
G
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
A
Anymore
Oh-oh-oh
Schooby-doo
Tra-la-la
D G
I'm sad and alone, But you'd never know
D
It to look at me, I look ever so happy
G A
Up here by myself, But I wish sometimes I looked
G
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
D
And I know I look shiny and bouncy
G
But I'm all empty inside
D
And I worry that if I was to just burst suddenly
G
That nobody would even notice me
I'm not a boy, I'm a big, fat balloon
D
Flapping in the wind, Floating over the treetops
G A
On a broken string, I've never been tied down
G
To anything
D
Because I'm free
G
I suppose
D
I can go
G
Where I want to go
D G
I drift carelessly, On a summer breeze
D
I bounce above the trees, I try to be cheerful
G A
But I can feel myself, Deflating all the time
G
Up in the sky.
