Nickel Creek – Helena (Guitar)

 C#m          E
[tab]           A               F#m 
Before you give me back my heart

           C#m               E
If it were mine, it would be yours to take

         A     A/G#    F#m
'm sorry I let down my guard, oh Helena

    A                G#m
You looked so sweet, I should have seen

            F#m                       Bsus4       B    
While I was playing for fun, you were playing for keeps

    C#m             E
You win, I lose, is there some way

        A        A/G#    F#m
You can leave me in your debt

                     C#m          E
So my girl and I can live to die another day

        A     A/G#     F#m
On that day I won't forget you, Helena

A                 G#m               
You look so sweet waiting for me

        F#m                         D
While I wait for her to give me any reason to leave

      A                 Bm
Don't waste your pretty sympathy

      D           A                    Bm
She's gonna be ju-ust fine and Helena, so will we

        D              A
So will everything in time, mmm

C#m           E
Helena, don't walk away

        A        A/G#   F#m
Did you hear one word I said? Oh well

        C#m              E
I never really liked her anyway

         A        A/G#    F#m
And I forgot her, I'll forget you, Helena

       A                   G#m       
You're not that sweet, and neither is she

    F#m               D  
Go ahead and tell her anything

A                         Bm                 D              A
you want, 'cause, Helena, guys like me never sleep alone at night

                  Bm                      
I don't need your sympathy

            D              A
'cause I'll always be ju-ust fine

           Bm             D
Yeah, I'll always be ju-ust fine

           Bm             D  
Yeah, I'll always be ju-ust fine

      A/E       Bm        D
La la la, la la la, la la la

      A/E       Bm        D      A/E
La la la, la la la, la la la
