Balloon On A Broken String

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

       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
