Give Me Back My Girl

Written by Jon Foreman

	  		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
