F#             A#m   E                      B
He's reading Helena just as his plane takes off
G#m             C#                         D#m                 G#
She's falling asleep through the same film she slept through before
F#           A#m        E                    B
I put my headphones on, listening to someone new
G#m             C#   B   C#       F#
He's reading Helena, I'm stuck on you

F#             A#m                     E               B
With one hand, he turns the pages, the other always in hers
G#m             C#              D#m                        G#
And he doesn't ever let go, not even through the turbulent skies
F#          A#m                E                   B
I find your Beatles playlist, listening to Love Me Do
G#m                C#      B   C#             F#
He's still reading Helena, I'm still stuck on you

[Chorus]

G#m                  D#m
Everyone is dying to find
                        Bm
Someway just to make it through
                       A#m
Someone's always crucified
                          F#
For doing what it is they do

A#m E B G#m C# B A#m* F#

[Verse]

F#             A#m   E                B
He's reading Helena, over the landing call
G#m           C#                          D#m                          G#
She takes her hand out of his, cleans his glasses, then puts them back on
F#             A#m                           E             B
I've turned to Dylan, who's singing how he's tangled up in blue
G#m              C#                    B             C#     D#m G#
Then she takes a book from her bag and she's reading Helena too
B               C#      B    C#      F# A#m E B
They're reading Helena, I'm stuck on you
G#m             C#      B    C#      F#
They're reading Helena, I'm stuck on you
