VERSE 1:
                              
Baby's Black Balloon makes her fly
                       
I almost fell into that hole in your life
                              
And you're not thinking bout tomorrow

(Play Riff 1 starting at "you" on the next line)

But on your kneeeeeeeeees

VERSE 2:
                            
1,000 other boys could never reach you
                         
How could I have been the one
                      
I saw the world spin beneath you
    Riff 1
And scatter like ice from the spoon
                  
That was your woooooooooomb


CHORUS:
                        
Comin down the world turned over
                        
And angels fall without you there
                   
And I go on as you get colder
          
Or are you someone's prayer

VERSE 3:
                             
You know the lies they always told you
                      
And the love you never knew
                            
What's the things they never showed you
     Riff 1
That swallowed the light from the sun
                       
Inside your rooooooooom, yeeaah


CHORUS:
                        
Comin down the world turned over
                        
And angels fall without you there
                   
And I go on as you get colder
      
Always someone

BRIDGE:
                          
And there's no time left for losin

When you stand they fall


CHORUS:
                        
Comin down the world turned over
                        
And angels fall without you there
                   
And I go on as you get colder
     
All because I'm


CHORUS:
                        
Comin down the years turn over
                        
And angels fall without you there
                        
And I go on now to lead you home and
     
All because I'm


OUTRO:
     
All because I'm
    
And I'll become
                  
What you became to me



that's it!   peace out
