 C#2					 F#
 Baby’s Black Balloon makes her fly

C#2                      F#
 I almost fell into that hole in your life

C#2					F#
 And you’re not thinking about tomorrow 

A#                  G#        F#
 Cause you were the same as me

 But on your knees

 A thousand other boys could never reach you

 How could I have been the one

 I saw the world spin beneath you

And scatter like ice from the spoon

That was your womb

 C#2    G#       F#          C#2   
 Comin’ down the world turned over

 C#2         G#       F#      C#2
 And angels fall without you there

 C#2      G#       F#     C#2
 And I go on as you get colder

C#2      G#            C#2
 Or are you someone’s prayer

C#2					 F#
 You know the lies they always told you

 Lots of things they never showed you

A#                  G#             F#
 That swallowed the light from the sun 

C#2          D#2  C#2
 Inside your room, yeah


Chorus2:
 C#2    G#       F#          C#2   
 Comin’ down the world turned over

 C#2         G#       F#      C#2
 And angels fall without you there

 C#2      G#       F#     C#2
 And I go on as you get colder

C#2      G#      F#     C#
  Or are you someone’s prayer

When you stand they fall

 Comin’ down the world turned over

 C#2         G#       F#      C#2
 And angels fall without you there

 C#2      G#       F#     C#2
 And I go on as you get colder

C#2     G#
 All because I’m 


C#2    G#       F#          C#2   
 Comin’ down the years turned over

 C#2         G#       F#      C#2
 And angels fall without you there

 C#2      G#       F#     C#2
 And I go on to bring you home

C#2      G#        C#    G#         G#      C#
 All because I’m, all because I’m, and I’ll become
