Heartbreak Girl Chords & Tabs
I thought I'd tab this with power chords because that's how 5sos actually play it.
Just saying, this song sounds a lot better with distortion. Also a warning, the
chords aren't timed very well with the lyrics on this tab so listen to the song to
see where the chords switch.
This is the tab for the intro/guitar solo that Michael plays every so often throughout the song.

E|-----------6--------------------------------------------------------------|
Oh and side note, the F that is played in the verses (not the F5) is modified like this
F: x032xx
It is sort of like a power chord in that you only play three strings, and it is
easier than doing a full barre chord. Also, you don't use the modified F for the
pre-chorus. (and when the phone call finally ends)
Another side note, The strum pattern is just D DD DD UD for the verse (listen to
the song) but for the G5 to F5 in the verse, you switch chords after the first
three downs.
The strum pattern for the Pre-chorus is down for the Gm and F (whole notes) and
DDDDU for the Eb
The strum pattern for the chorus is something like DDUUDU repeated twice for each
chord. (I can't really figure it out)
Bb5: x133xx
G5: 355xxx
F5: 133xxx
Eb5: x688xx
D5: x577xx
C5 x355xx
F5: (on the A string): x81010xx
Bb5
You call me up,
F
It's like a broken record
G5 F5
Saying that your heart hurts
Eb5 Bb5
Thought you never get over him getting over you,
F
And you end up crying
G5 F5
And I end up lying,
Eb5 Gm
Cause I'm just a sucker for anything that you do,
F (full chord)
And when then phone call finally ends,
Eb
You say thanks for being a friend
And I'm going in circles again and again.
