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

You can have Los Angeles

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!
