verse 1
– – – – – – – –
B
i’m holding onto white balloons up against a sky of doom
( bass drops down to A# )
tell me you see them

A
’cause what’s inside of me is invisible to most
( bass drops down to C# )
even in clear view

B
i’m sending out a signal to the possibility of you
( bass drops down to A# )
’cause right at this moment

A
i know you’re connected to a part of me
( bass drops to C# )
that i don’t even know myself

– – – – – – – –

G
the changes in me

A5 E
are likely to be like the weather

G A5
stormy and clear strength into

E
fear bound together

verse 2

B – – – – – ( wait for bass to drop to A# )
but i’ll break my silence

A
if i believed that you and me could ever be
( bass to C# )
more than just what’s been behind us

B
i tried and left , they came and went i got rejected out again
( bass to A# )
but no one believes me

A
i’ve worn a hundred faces of the character replacements and now
nobody sees me

G
the changes in me

A5 E
are likely to be like the weather

G A5
cloudy at best . . .
