    Black Balloon Acoustic

  • Artist:

    Goo Goo Dolls

My first tab, be nice.

Love the Goo Goo Dolls, got tired of having to re-tune,
so I finally sat down and came up with a way to play it
in standard tuning without losing any richness.
Easy, fun, always a favorite.

SONG:

INTRO:
C-F-C-F


VERSE 1:
C                              F
Baby's black balloon makes her fly
C                       F
I almost fell into that hole in your life
C                              F
And you're not thinking 'bout tomorrow
      Riff
Cause you were there same as me
G       F   G      F*
But on your kneeeeeeeees


INTRO:
C-F-C-F


VERSE 2:
C                            F
1,000 other boys could never reach you
C                         F
How could I have been the one
C                         F
I saw the world spinnin' beneath you
    Riff
And scatter like ice from the spoon that
G    F    G      F
Was your wooooooooomb


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


INTRO
C-F-C-F


VERSE 3:
C                             F
You know the lies they always told you
C                      F
And the love you never knew
C                            F
What's the things they never showed you
     Riff
That swallowed the light from the sun
G      F    G            F*
Inside your rooooom, yeeahaaa


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


BRIDGE:

E F C G
E F C G
E F G C
F-F-D-F*

    *90's Dramatic Pause*
E          F*                G
And there's no time left for losin'
G
When you stand they'll fall


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


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


CHORUS OUTRO:
F*     G
All because I'm,
F
I'll become
     G             C
What you became to me


Enjoy! :)
