Lead Balloon

G
Just when I thought I hadn't seen a thing,

you went and promised me we'd float
D7
Promenade through all the little corners

of the world that no one knows
G
Climb Mount Everest, build ourselves a terrace,

overlooking Isle of White
D7
But suddenly the skies are darkening, the

clouds are rolling in I'm
                    G
realizing all the while


[Chorus]
C
I've been strung along and
              G
carried by a lead balloon
       D7
Oh but how could I have
               G
ever left the ground
C
When the reason I've been struggling
                    G
pulling my weight is you
D7                                G
You're my love, you're my lead balloon


[Verse 2]
G
Just when I thought I'm figuring it out,
                                   D7
I've sorted through the doubt you caused

I start dreaming of rooms without a ceiling,
                      G
buildings towering applause

If only we could drift as though we were
                              D7
filled with helium, light as feathers

We would never come undone,
                      G
cause darlin we'd be tethered


[Chorus]
C
I've been strung along and carried by a
G
lead balloon
D7                                     G
Oh but how could I have ever left the ground
C
When the reason I've been struggling
                  G
pulling my weight is you
D7
You're my love, you're my lead
