Artist: Foster the People Song: Helena Beat Capo 1st fret N.B: To play without capo, transpose up 1 semitone Intro: Am, C, F, C, C, C Verse 1:

^AmSometimes life it ^Ctakes you by the hair, pulls you ^Fdown, Before you ^Cknow it, it's ^Cgone and you're ^Cdead again. ^AmI've been in places and I ^Cwon't pretend, That I'd ^Fmake it out ^Cjust to ^Cfall on my ^Chead.

Verse 2:

^AmWhich is strange I take the ^Cwalk downstairs, Hit the ^Fpawn up on the ^Ccorner and ^Cpay for my ^Crent. ^AmYou know that I could not ^Cbelieve my own truth, Just ^Fshow them what I ^Cchoose, got ^Cnothing to ^Close.

Chorus:

^AmYeah, yeah and it's O.^CK., I tie my ^Fhands up to a ^Cchair so I don't ^Cfall that ^Cway. ^AmYea^Ch, yeah and I'm alright, I took a ^Fsip of something ^Cpoisoned but I'll ^Chold on ^Ctight.

Instrumental: Am, C, F, C, C, C x2 Verse 3:

^AmYou know those days when you ^Cwant to just choose, To not ^Fget out of ^Cbed, get ^Clost in your ^Chead again. ^AmYou're playin' games but you ^Ckind of cut, 'Cause you're ^Fcoming down ^Chard and your ^Cjoints are all ^Cstuck.

Verse 4:

^AmI've tried to say that it's ^Cnot the only way, I n^Fever knew if ^CI could ^Cface myself to ^Cchange. ^AmYou were impatient, I was ^Cinsecure, Slip and ^Ffall, I'm dodging ^Ccalls, In the ^Cprison I've been ^Cliving in.

[Chorus] x2 Instrumental: Am, C, F, C, C, C [Chorus] x2 Outro:

^AmOoo^Coo^Fo-^Coo^Coo^Coh
