Artist: Foster the People Song: Helena Beat Capo 1st fret N.B: To play without capo, transpose up 1 semitone Intro: Em, D, C, D, G, D Verse 1: Em D C Sometimes life it takes you by the hair, pulls you down, D G D Before you know it, it's gone and you're dead again. Em D I've been in places and I won't pretend, C D G D That I'd make it out just to fall on my head. Verse 2: Em D Which is strange I take the walk downstairs, C D G D Hit the pawn up on the corner and pay for my rent. Em D You know that I could not believe my own truth, C D G D Just show them what I choose, got nothing to lose. Chorus: Em D Yeah, yeah and it's O.K., C D G D I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way. Em D Yeah, yeah and I'm alright, C D G D I took a sip of something poisoned but I'll hold on tight. Instrumental: Em, D, C, D, G, D x2 Verse 3: Em D You know those days when you want to just choose, C D G D To not get out of bed, get lost in your head again. Em D You're playin' games but you kind of cut, C D 'Cause you're coming down hard G D and your joints are all stuck. Verse 4: Em D I've tried to say that it's not the only way, C D G D I never knew if I could face myself to change. Em D You were impatient, I was insecure, C D Slip and fall, I'm dodging calls, G D In the prison I've been living in. [Chorus] x2 Instrumental: Em, D, C, D, G, D [Chorus] x2 Outro: Em D C D G D Oooooo-oooooh
