I tabbed this song all by ear and the interlude was really hard.
So bear with me here.

We wrote a prelude to our own fairy tale
and bought a parachute at a church rummage sale
and with a mean sewing machine and miles of thread
we sewed the day above L.A. in navy and red
we roamed a racetrack through your mom's kitchen chairs
and fought the shadows back down your dark basement stairs
I lit a match then let it catch to light up the room
and then you yelled as we beheld an old maroon hot air balloon
Chorus:
C G
I'll be out of my mind
Am F
and you'll be out of ideas pretty soon
C G Am F
so let's spend the afternoon in a cold hot air balloon
C G
leave your jacket behind
Am F
lean out and touch the tree tops over town
C G Am F
I can't wait to kiss the ground wherever we touch back down

Same verse:
We drank the great lakes like cold lemonade
and both got stomach aches, sprawled out in the shade
swore to death, you held your breath
and I tried not to yawn
you made my frown turn upside down and now my worries are gone
Same Chords for Chorus:
I'll be out of my mind
and you'll be out of ideas pretty soon
so let's spend the afternoon in a cold hot air balloon
leave your jacket behind
lean out and touch the tree tops over town
I can't wait to kiss the ground wherever we touch back down
C G
I'll be out of my mind
Am F
and you'll be out of ideas pretty soon
C G Am F
so let's spend the afternoon in a cold hot air balloon
C G
leave your jacket behind
Am F
lean out and touch the tree tops over town
C G Am F
I can't wait to kiss the ground wherever we touch back down
