HOT BALLOON – by Patrick Spencer

G D Em D
Late at night I looked up above the lights and saw the moon
G D Em D
I like to think you might be right now, looking at it too
G D Em D
So I will scream my love above and hope it reaches you
G D Em D
But if I didn’t time it right, there’s still something you can do….
Em D
Before you fall asleep tonight, if your grandfather’s living room,
Em D D
You can read the note I wrote and posted for you on the moon

G D Em D
It says every night I miss you and most every afternoon
G D Em D
I’ve marked a wall for every hour and now I’m running out of room
G D Em D
But I don’t have an aero plane so I know what I need to do…
Em D
If I found one I could use, I could fuel my own balloon
Em C G D
By adding all the breath I lose, for every time I think of you.
C G D
C G D
Every time I think of you
C G D D

(Instrumental)
G D Em D
G D Em D
G D Em D
G D Em D

G D Em D
So now I’ll pack a pic-nic and a thermos full of juice,
G D Em D
A blanket and a pillow and I’ll climb in my balloon
G D Em D
And I’ll be smiling as I cut the line and rise above the roof

Em D
I don’t know the way to you, so flying blind will have to do
Em C G D
And I could float around for days and never lose a drop a fuel,
C G D
C G D
never lose a drop a fuel.
C G D D


G D Em D
My wireless connection was corrupted by a goose,
G D Em D
And cellular reception doesn’t fly in this balloon,
G D Em D
And so my baby while you’re waiting there, the best that I can do,
Em D
May be floating slowly but its riding in a big balloon,
Em D
It may be floating slowly but it’s riding in a big balloon
Em C G D
And if you’re feeling lonely read the note I wrote up on the moon,
C G D
C G D
the note I wrote up on the moon.
C G D
the note I wrote up on the moon.
C G D
the note I wrote up on the moon.
C G D
the note I wrote up on the moon.
C G D
the note I wrote up on the moon.
C G D

Their style reaches across Folk, Americana, Rock, and Country; like Don McLean sitting in with the Lumineers. Coldwater Road is a five-piece folk/rock group with rich harmonies and driving rhythm. ... more
