Tale as old as Dhoney
A moment everyBmbody knows
Yeah, I'm sure there was Aheartbreak
Inside the walls of AJericho
I couldn't Dbelieve it
How you could just stop Bmwanting me
You burnt down Easter AIsland
As if it wasn't Emsacred, as if it wasn't D/F#sacred to me
GI've seen it in the poems, in the sands
AI've pleaded with the powers and their plans
DI tried to rewrite it but I Acan't
It's the history, the D/F#history of man
GShe stays up, he's sleeping like a lamb
AShe begs him, hе says he doesn't understand
DShе loves him more than anyone ever has
AIn the history, the history of Emman
It's the history of Dman
You didn't even Dfalter
Didn't look back Bmonce, did you?
So Samson blamed ADelilah
But given half the Achance I, I would've made him weaker too
EmSirens sounded, Gtrumpets blaring
EmYou walked out, oh
AWithout sweating
GI've seen it in the poems, in the sands
AI've pleaded with the powers and their plans
DI tried to rewrite it but I Acan't
It's the history, the D/F#history of man
GShe stays up, he's sleeping like a lamb
AShe begs him, hе says he doesn't understand
DShе loves him more than anyone ever has
AIn the history (History), the history of man
He Emstole her youth and promised heaven
The Gmen start wars yet Troy hates Helen
EmWomen's hearts are lethal weapons
GDid you hold mine and feel threatened?
EmHear my lyrics, taste my venom
AYou are still my great obsession
GI've seen it in the poems, in the sands
AI've pleaded with the powers and their plans
DI tried to rewrite it but I Acan't
It's the history (History), the D/F#history of man
GI stay up, you're sleeping like a lamb
AI beg you and you don't understand
DI hold on, I try to hold your hand
AI save you a seat and then you say you wanna stand
BmSo you'll lose me, the best you'll ever have
AIt's the history, the history of man
