C#m             E
Helena, don't walk away
             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
I'm sorry I've let down my guard, oh Helena

            A
You looked so sweet
          C#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    So my girl and
 C#m                   E
I can live to die another day
         A     C#m      F#m
On that day I won't forget you, Helena

C#m                    E
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
                Bm
And Helena, so will we

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

A
