 C#m          E
Helena, don't walk away
           A       E      F#m
Before you give me back my heart
           E6               E
If it were mine it would be yours to take
          A     E       F#m
I'm sorry I let down my guard, oh Helena

    Asus2     A
You looked so sweet
E            F#m
I should have seen
            E           A
While I was playing for fun
         E           B
You were playing for keeps

   E6
You win I lose
   E
Is there some way
        A
You can leave me
E       F#m
In your debts oh my girl

          E6          E
And I can live to die another day
        A     E     F#m
On that day I won't forget you Helena

     E      A
You look so sweet
E           B
Waiting for me
        E
While I wait for her
    A          E
To give me any reason to leave

        A               E          
Don't waste your pretty sympathy
                    A
She's gonna be just fine
       E
Helena so will we
                   D  A
So will everything in time
                                                                         
Instrumental- A E A E F#m


A            E
Helena don't walk away
        A        E      F#m
Did you hear one word I said oh well
          A              E
I never really liked her anyway
       A          E          A
And I forgot her: I'll forget you Helena

       E        A
You're not that sweet
    E          B
And neither is she
   E         A          E   B
Go ahead and tell her anything
    A
You are good Helena

E         D        E     D        A
Guys like me never sleep alone at night
                  E     B
I don't need your sympathy
           E      D
Cause I'll always be
      A
Just fine
          E      D 
Yeah I'll always be
     A
Just fine

The first chord is definitely a C#m.

And a lot of the other chords you have as A is actually C#m.

I agree with what ^^that person said, however this is pretty accurate, and considering theres no other tab for Helena here yet, good job!

Also, there are some times where you swich from A to E where it is just A played. No biggy.

I also suggest that a couple of those E's in the first line of later verses should be played an octive higher, such as (low to high) 0 7 9 9 7 7

i would like to know the chords for the outro, when the drums pick up, i think its just A over and over but i'm not sure. I'm a mandolin player and i love bluegrass, but i also love bands like COldplay and this song is the perfect mix between the two. so if anyone wants to help me out with the outro chords, great. Adam-

this is really pretty good. most of the parts on here are for mandolin, which I came here for hoping to translate, but found they were the right ones. Perhaps this is ment for mandolin, it just wasn't written in the title. In anycase, it worked.

For the outro comment: If you want to hear the chords Chris uses without the drums (makes it easier to hear) heres him live with Helena. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpJO9fNuJPo&feature=related
