Verse 1
E|E|-------||- 

Esus2
I'm holding onto white balloons up against a sky of doom
(Bass Drops Down to A#)[use the guitar drop chords]
Tell me you see them

Dsus2
'Cause what's inside of me is invisible to most
(Bass Drops Down to C#)
Even in clear view

Esus2
I'm sending out a signal to the possibility of you
(Bass Drops Down to A#)
'Cause right at this moment

Dsus2
I know you're connected to a part of me
(Bass Drops to C#)
that I don't even know myself

E|E|-------||- 

Chorus
E|E|-------||- 

G
The changes in me

A                            E
Are likely to be like the weather

G                A
Stormy and clear strength into

           E
fear bound together

E|E|-------||- 

Verse 2
E|E|-------||- 

Esus2-----(Wait for bass to drop to A#)
But I'll break my silence

Dsus2
If I believed that you and me could ever be

(Bass to C#)
More than just what's been behind us

Esus2
I tried and left, they came and went I got rejected out again
(Bass to A#)
But no one believes me

Dsus2
I've worn a hundred faces Of the character replacements and now
Nobody sees me

G
The changes in me

    A                        E
Are likely to be like the weather

G                 Asus2
Cloudy at best...
