Tabber - Jake Chen
 
Bored. Did tab, don't know harmonics in beginning.

DADADD tuning, but put it one half step down if
you want to be accurate to studio recording.

Verse - Here are they lyrics.
 
1 -  Baby's black balloon makes her fly
     I almost fell into that hole in your life
     And you're not thinking about tomorrow
 
2 - A thousand other boys could never reach you
    How could I have been the one
    I saw the world spin beneath you
 
3 - You know the lies they always told you
    And the love you never knew
    What's the things they never showed you

Pre Chorus - Bass plays something different.
 
1 - Cause you were the same as me
    But on your knees
 
2 - And scatter like ice from the spoon
    That was your womb
 
3 - That swallowed the light from the sun
    Inside your room

Chorus - Play three times then riff.
 
- Comin' down the world turned over
  And angels fall without you there
  And I go on as you get colder

the tuning is right on! Thank you so much! Yeah I'm not exactly sure about the tab itself, but with these chords I can figure it out on my own, thanks!

heres the intro, its all harmonics. and its 100% correct. add a lil delay and reverb to get the right effect. |-------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------| |------------------4--5---------------------| |--7---5-4-5---7----------4--5--------------| |-------------------------------------------|
