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

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

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

      A          
You looked so sweet

   G#m               
I should have seen

                F#m
While I was playing for fun

              Bsus         B    
You were playing for keeps

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

           A     C#m      F#m
You can leave me in your debt

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

             A      C#m     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
She's gonna be just fine

     A       Bm
And Helena, so will we

        D              A
So will everything in time, mmm

C#m                   E
Helena, don't walk away

            A    C#m       F#m
Did you hear one word I said

           C#m                   E
Oh well, I never really liked her anyway

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

A                           
You're not that sweet

    G#m               
And neither is she

     F#m                    D        A  
Go ahead and tell her anything you want,

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

                  Bm                      
I don't need your sympathy

  D                      A
'cause I'll always be just fine

              Bm            D
Yeah, I'll always be just fine

              Bm            D  
Yeah, I'll always be just fine

A          Bm          D           A
La la la, la la la, la la la
