[Intro]
Em G x2
[Verse]
[Em]Blow the electric candle out
Let yourself slip away a while
[G]Into the phosphorescent blue
That's swimming through the t[B]ubes in you
[C]'Cuz you are made of water
Slowly synchronising with the moon
[G]That rises from the sea in front y[B]ou
[Chorus]
Like a blood red [C]balloon
Like a blood red b[Em]alloon
[Verse]
[Em]Wandering naked though the street
Forewarning everyone you meet
You [G]hold their fortune in your hand
See heaven in a grain of sa[B]nd
Con[C]verse with the Spiritual Sun
On Primrose Hill, NW1
Emer[G]ging ghostly from the morning d[B]ew
[Chorus]
Like a blood red [C]balloon
Like a blood red [Em]balloon
Like a blood red [C]balloon
Like a blood red [Em]balloon
[A]Don't close your eyes
You can't fight it
Don't close your eyes
You can't hide from it
[F#m]Open your eyes
You can't fight it
Don't [B]close your eyes
You can't fight it
[A]Don't close your eyes[A6][A]
You can't fight it
[A]Don't close your eyes[A6][A]
You can't hide from it
[F#m]Open your eyes[F#sus4][F#m]
You can't fight it
Don'[B]t close your eyes[B6][B]
[Lead break]
A\\\\\\\\E\\\\\\\\G\\\\\\\A B\\\\\\\G Em\\\\\\\\G\\\\\\\\\\
[verse]
[Em]I look into your staring eyes
And understand our future lies
With the [G]destined demise of man
A mushroom cloud following [B]an
Exp[C]losion filmed in surround sound
Sending deep tremors through the ground
Obsc[G]uring the innocent sky from v[B]iew
[Chorus]
Like a blood red [C]balloon
Like a blood red [Em]balloon
Like a blood red [C]balloon
Like a blood red [Em]balloon
Like a blood[D]
[G](Don't close your eyes)
