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
      A#m           G#/C     C#
Cause you were there same as me
    G#       D#m F#
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

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

You know the lies they always told you
And the love you never knew
What's the things they never showed you
That swallow the light from the sun
Inside your room, yeah

Chorus

C#/F        F#                G#
And there's no time left for losin'
G#
When you stand they'll 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
Comin' down the years turn over
And angels fall without you there
And I'll go on and I'll lead you home and
All because I'm (All because I'm)
And I'll become
What you became to me
