Balloon Song Chords

[Verse]
Dsus
I set a friend of mine up on a date
 
And I told him I'd watch his boy for the day
       G                                 A
And we had a ball playing games, eating dogs
            Dsus
Riding rides at the county fair
 
I thought he was just being a kid
 
When we got back to my place and he did what the did
             G                                         A
On a balloon that he won he wrote mommy I had fun
          Dsus
And I missed you and I wished you there
  Em                                       A                 Em                               A
I wasn't sure what he had in mind till he jumped up and ran outside
 
                     G  A                   D
And he let it go, and he waved good-bye
                    G A                             D
Or was it hello, I don't know but I died inside
                Bm                            A
I can still see his excitement in pointing and smiling
          D                                   G
When it was gone as it could get
                               Em
And he turned and asked me,
A
Think it's in heaven yet
 
Dsus
I struggled for something to say
 
I was too choked up lacking the kind of faith
     G                       A                                  Dsus
He had in his heart before I could start he walked me back inside
 
He gave me his crayola pen and said I'll bet there's a message
                                                   G
That you'd like to send, and no doubt he was right
            A                                  Dsus
It been locked up inside since my grandpa said good-bye
  Em                           A            Em                             A
I took that yellow balloon and wrote till I ran out of room
 
                   G A                                D
And I let it go, and we waved good-bye
                           G  A                         D
That seven-year old Lord he opened my eyes
                Bm                             A
I can still see his excitement in pointing and smiling
          D                                   G
When it was gone as it could get
                              Em
Then I turned and asked him
A
Think it's in heaven yet
