give me back my girl – fiction family
standard tuning
key of B
verse :
B
i can feel it now
i can feel my heart again
i thought i lost myself
i can feel it caving in
you can keep your venom saints
just give me back my girl
when the city’s dark
with her melancholy chords
i can feel her hollow skin
it’s thin as billboards
you can win the poison race
just give me back my girl
you can have l . A .
just give me back my girl
prechorus :
G#m E
i feel it creeping in
B F#
breaking my heart again
G#m E
i don’t know who i’ve been
B F# G#m E B F#
feels like i’m losing it all
chorus :
E B
you can have los angeles
F# B B – Emaj7 – E
just give me back my girl
verse :
B
feel like i’ll never be good enough
B – Emaj7 – E
feel like i’ll never be cool enough sometimes
oh , i remember that was never the point!
B
and i don’t ever want to lose you , love
B – Emaj7 – E
i just want to know what shattered on the inside , yeah
prechorus :
G#m E
feels like i’m losing her
B F#
like we’ll never be what we were
G#m E
ever since the bubble burst
B F# G#m E B F#
feels like we’re in reverse , oh!
chorus :
E B
you can have los angeles
F# B

E B
you can have los angeles
F# B

F# G#m
just give me back my girl
E B

F# B

for the verse :
during the first verse sean kinda plucks around these chords on the electric
and jon just plays a low B on the E string with everything else muted
in the second verse sean has a riff with the Emaj7 and E shapes
and jon strums the the B power chord
then plays B – Emaj7 – E at the end of every other line
listen for it and its really easy to tell what they play : )
B Emaj7 E
E | – – – – – – – – – – – – |
B | – – – – – – – – – – – – |
G | – 8 – – 8 – – – – 9 – – |
D | – 9 – – 9 – – – – 9 – – |
A | – 9 – – 7 – – – – 7 – – |
E | – 7 – – – – – – – – – – |
the rest of the song is pretty much just straight – forward jamming!
enjoy!
