  Three Balloons and a Trapdoor

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  By SANDBOX  ---  From: Bionic

  

  

  Hey everyone!  This is my first tab and I'm proud of it.  I figured

  this song out a few years ago after I saw Sandbox live when they

  were on tour with the Barenaked Ladies... Saw that this wasn't up

  on the OLGA so I figured this song would be a good place to start

  my tab writing ;)

          But they don't lie

          Dm           F

          Angels never show you trapdoors

      C                   G

  LYRICS

  ~~~~~~

  

  [riff one]

          There's a feeling I've been misplaced

          But my soul is safely riding three balloons

          Here's a shelter of the magic kind

          Where falseness is a passion you won't find

  

  [riff two]

          I'm breathing fog but I don't mind

          My body has no sense of time

          I'm hearing sounds I can't explain

          All I can do is fly away

  

  [riff one]

          Can a vision fall short of dreams

          There's a downy angel crouching at my feet

          Illusions fill my sleeping head and

          Dreams fade like a runway strip on fire

  

  [riff three]

          Angels never show you trapdoors

          But they don't lie

          Angels never show you trapdoors

          Until illusions die away

  

  [riff one]

          A Sunday smile falls from my face

          I can't persuade in worlds I cannot stay

          Gracious blood flows through my veins

          But my soul would favor riding three balloons

  

  [riff two]

          A fearless space of touch and time

          Where everything is genuine

          My fingers grasp but I can't stay

          All I can do is fly away...
