Nena – 99 Red Balloons Chords

You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we got
Set them free at the break of dawn
Till one by one, they were gone

Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message: Something’s out there,
Floating in the summer sky
99 Red Balloons go by

99 Red Balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panicking, it’s red alert
There’s something here from somewhere else

War machines spring to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
Where 99 Red Balloons go by,

99 Decision street
99 ministers meet
To worry, worry; super scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry

This is what we’ve waited for
This is it, boys, this is war
The president is on the line
As 99 Red Balloons go by

99 knights of the air
Ride super high tech jet fighters
Everyone’s a super hero
Everyone’s a Captain Kirk

With orders to identify
To clarify and classify
Scramble in the summer sky
As 99 Red Balloons go by
As 99 Red Balloons go by

99 dreams I have had
In every one a red balloon
It’s all over now and I’m standing pretty
In the dust that was a city

If I could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon
I think of you and let it go,
