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. Chords: (Relative to Capo) C (x32010) F (033210) F* (133211) G (320033) G* (3200xx) Am (x02210) E (022100) [Riff]

[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

      Am             G/B     C
Cause you were there same as me

    F  C/E   G          F
But on your kneeeeeeeees

[Instrumental] 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

     Am          G/B            C
And scatter like ice from the spoon that

 F   C/E   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

[Instrumental] 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

       Am           G/B            C
That swallowed the light from the sun

   F  C/E    G            F
Inside your rooooom, yeeahaaa

[Chorus]

Am7     G      Fadd9            C
Comin down the world turned over

    Am7     G        F9       C
And angels fall without you there

    Am7    G     F9       C
And I go on as you get colder

F        G
Always someone

[Bridge] C/E F Am7 G C/E F Am7 G C/E F F C/E Dm7 *90's Dramatic Pause*

C/E                 F                G
       And there's no time left for losin'

          G
When you stand they'll fall

[Chorus]

Am7      G        F            C
Comin' down the world turned over

    Am7     G        F*       C
And angels fall without you there

And I go on as you get colder

All because I'm

Comin' down the years turn over

    Am7     G      F9       C
And angels fall without you there

    Am7   G         F9        C
And I go on now to lead you home and

F     G
All because I'm

C/E
All because I'm

Dm7
I'll become

      F             C
What you became to me
