Goo Goo Dolls is an alternative rock band formed in 1985 in Buffalo, New York by guitarist/vocalist John Rzeznik and bassist/vocalist Robby Takac. They are most famous for the hit &quot;Iris&quot;, featured on the soundtrack to the 1998 film City of Angels. Currently, the band consists of John Rzeznik (guitar, vocals), Robby Takac (vocals, bass) and Mike Malinin (drums).  Early in their career, the Goo Goo Dolls were frequently dismissed by critics as mere imitators of The Replacements; however, the band refined its sound to be more mainstream...

Goo Goo Dolls es una banda estadounidense de rock alternativo.  Se formó en 1985 en Buffalo, Nueva York, por el Guitarrista/vocalista Johnny Rzeznik y el Bajista/Vocalista Robby Takac.  La banda no tuvo ganancias y fama hasta el año de 1995 cuando uno de los locutores de radio en Estados Unidos escucho Name, canción del álbum A boy named goo, en la cual el locutor señaló que la cancion &quot;era excelente&quot;.

&quot;Iris&quot; is a song by American alternative rock band the Goo Goo Dolls. Originally written for the soundtrack of 1998 film 'City of Angels', staring Nicolas Cage and Meg Ryan, the song was later included on the band's sixth album Dizzy Up the Girl. The acoustic guitar in the song gives a distinctive sound as it is in an odd tuning, with 5 of the 6 strings tuned to D. This gives a ringing effect similar to a 12-string guitar.

Very difficult to play in the same key with a ukulele as the whole song is based on open chords. Anyway, let's give it a try...

note : D is in fact a Dadd11 at the guitar, but the uke doesn't have the range to play it correctly...

Or the moment of truth in your lies
     Bm7   -    Asus4  -       Dsus4

Before It's Too Late

&quot;Black Balloon&quot; is the third single to be released from the Dizzy Up the Girl album by the Goo Goo Dolls.  This song, according to the band's frontman Johnny Rzeznik, is about a woman with a heroin addiction and how her lover is desperately trying to save her. He has also said that is about &quot;seeing someone you love that is so great just screw up so bad.&quot; Speculation as to the song's subject has included bassist Robby Takac's ex-wife (who overdosed on heroin).

G            D                    Am7
And we'll be standing when you're gone
    C              G
And we'll be heard again
              D
We missed our chance but not 
    Am7              C                Em
For long I know some-how we will hold on
         D                C
We'll be here when you're gone



And then one day we realized
That they couldn't hear our voice
And it's so hard to understand
When it's caught up in the noise
And the ones who fight and die
Are the truth inside the lie
Now it's all built on our backs
And we struggle to survive


Well Be Here When You're Gone

INTRO : Am C Am C

       Am
Your love's gathered storm I chased across the sky
     C
A moment in your arms became the reason why
                    Am
And you're still the only light that fills the emptiness
          C
The only one I need until my dying breath

     Am
And i would give you everything
             Fm
just to feel your open arms
      Am                              Fm
and i'm not sure i believe  anything I feel

chorus :
    C                      Am
and now, now that you're near
                              Fm
there's nothing more without you
             C
without you here

            Am
And i'm trying to beleive in things that I don't know
            C
The turning of the world, the colour of your soul
            Am
That love could kill the pain Truth is never vain
    C                                               Am
It turns strangers into lovers and ennemies to brothers

                     G
Just say you understand
                     Fm
I never had this planned

CHORUS

         Am
My head lies to my heart
                 C
And my heart it still beleives
         G                                                    Fm
It seems the one who loves us are the ones that we deceive
                         Am
But you're changing everything
                G                                Fm
You're changing everything in me

CHORUS

A tired song keeps playen on a tired radio.

        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me


Am        C              G         F   
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat

Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)

Am  C  Am       C              F           C
       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

King Creole

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
