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

Verse 2

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

I tried and left, they came and went I got rejected out again

But no one believes me
